1990 HONDA CONCERTO1.6L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by consecutive clean passes over the last four years. The most recent test conducted on 26 October 2024 at 118,367 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistent clean record suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard or that the mechanical and structural components are resisting the failures typically associated with vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 36-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 3,288 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 113,442 miles and October 2024 at 118,367 miles, the car covered only 4,925 miles. This low rate of use indicates the vehicle likely sits stationary for extended periods between tests. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of dry-related issues and the degradation of rubber-based components due to inactivity. Despite the lack of recorded faults in the MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills. Given the age of the vehicle, the buyer should check for hidden corrosion in the wheel arches and floor pans that the MOT tester may not flag until it becomes perforated. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishability or cracking, as stationary vehicles often suffer from age rather than mileage. Additionally, the brakes should be checked for seized calipers or perished seals which are common failure points in cars that are not driven frequently.
