1988 HONDA DAX0.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test on 17 March 2026 at 13,223 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the last four years, suggesting that the motorcycle is being maintained to a high standard without the accumulation of mechanical faults or structural degradation. The mileage data reveals a significant shift in usage patterns. Between January 2022 and March 2023, the vehicle covered 4,713 miles, bringing the total from 36,278 to 40,991. However, since the March 2023 test, usage has dropped drastically, with only 4,667 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2026 tests. This average of approximately 348 miles per year across the 38-year-old vehicle indicates the bike is likely used for fair-weather leisure or long periods of storage rather than daily commuting. Despite the clean digital record, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection focusing on risks associated with low-mileage, older machinery. Dry rubber components such as tyres, fuel lines, and fork seals are prone to cracking and perish rot regardless of low tread depth. Inspect the frame for corrosion, particularly around the welds and joints, as long-term standing can lead to moisture retention and rust. Ensure the brake system is checked for seized calipers or pitted discs, which are common issues for vehicles that are not frequently exercised.
