1988 Honda CRX 1.6L Petrol · F430 RMG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 13 March 2026 at 69,643 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows an anomalous failure just the previous day at 69,641 miles with no recorded defects. This suggests a potential administrative error or a minor sensor issue that was rectified immediately, as the car passed all relevant criteria within twenty-four hours and just two additional miles of travel. At 38 years old, the recorded mileage of 69,643 miles represents an exceptionally low average of approximately 1,833 miles per year. This low usage profile typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it often introduces risks associated with rubber degradation and fluid stagnation during periods of inactivity. The data from the March 2026 tests indicates the vehicle has covered very little distance between the two appointments, confirming it is likely kept for occasional or seasonal use. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity, as older Hondas from this era are prone to hidden corrosion in the sills, wheel arches, and rear mounting points. Despite the clean MOT result, the low mileage necessitates a check for perished suspension bushes, cracked brake lines, and seized calipers that may result from age rather than use. Verify the tyres for flat spotting and ensure the low-speed operation has not led to oil leaks or carbon buildup within the cooling system.
