1991 Honda DAX 0.0L Petrol · J871 CRM

The Honda DAX shows a wholly clean MOT record, with the most recent DVSA entry dated 13 September 2022 at 48,661 miles returning a pass and no defects or advisories. Across the five tests from 31 August 2018 to that 2022 examination, the vehicle demonstrated a stable compliance trend, the tester flagging nothing on brakes, suspension, emissions, or structure. That said, the latest test sits nearly four years before today's date of 16 July 2026, so the certificate confirms historical condition only and cannot speak to present roadworthiness. Mileage accumulation across the recorded span is exceptionally low. The odometer read 48,647 miles on 31 August 2018 and crept to 48,661 miles by 13 September 2022, a total gain of 14 miles over four annual tests. This equates to about 3.5 miles each year, contrasting sharply with the approximate 1,390 miles per annum implied by the 48,661 total against the 1991 build. The flat profile indicates long stationary periods, likely under sheltered storage, and previous owners evidently kept the trike unused rather than accruing wear. No testing gaps appear, yet the sparse mileage means the file offers little insight into dynamic mechanical behaviour. Because the records list no recurring faults, a buyer must target age-related risks that a stationary low-mileage machine hides. Examine the structural integrity of the chassis and frame for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and outriggers where trapped moisture breeds rust during storage. The tester raised no concerns on suspension bushes or coil springs, but rubber components perish with time irrespective of distance; expect possible cracking in bushes and stiff dampers. Brake discs and calipers warrant hands-on checks for binding or pitting after years of inactivity, and the exhaust system should be assessed for internal degradation despite clean emissions results in 2022. Tyres may show sidewall perishing despite adequate tread, given the minimal rotation. A current physical inspection remains essential before any purchase decision.
