1972 HONDA DAX0.0L PETROL

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently uncertain due to a complete lack of testing data for the past eleven years. The last recorded entry from January 2015 shows a vehicle that passed its inspection despite several initial failures related to the steering and braking systems. Because no MOT tests have been performed since 2015, there is no evidence to determine if the mechanical condition has stabilized or if the vehicle has suffered from progressive degradation during prolonged inactivity. The recorded mileage of 2,416 miles over 54 years represents an extremely low usage of approximately 45 miles per year. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing often lead to the deterioration of rubber components, perished seals, and internal corrosion. The significant gap between the 2015 test and the present date suggests the bike may have sat for a decade, which significantly increases the risk of mechanical failure upon immediate use. A physical inspection must prioritize the braking and steering systems, as the 2015 failure specifically flagged excessively stiff steering movement linked to the lower bearing. The tester also noted a spongy front brake and fluctuating effort in the rear roller brake, indicating either air in the lines or failing master cylinders and calipers. Given the age of the Dax, the buyer should specifically inspect for structural rust on the frame and verify that the fuel lines and tyres have not perished during the long intervals of storage.
