2014 Honda ANC 0.1L Petrol · LC14 NUX

A consistent track record of passing MOT tests defines this vehicle, although it has a history of intermittent advisories regarding wear-and-tear components. The latest recorded test on 19 April 2022 resulted in a pass, but noted a noisy rear wheel bearing, continuing a pattern of minor issues such as exhaust instability and brake wear. While the vehicle has avoided major failures, the presence of these recurring advisories suggests a need for targeted mechanical verification. The recorded mileage of 58,802 miles over twelve years indicates a low usage rate of approximately 4,900 miles per year. While this suggests reduced wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, there is a notable absence of MOT data between April 2022 and September 2026. This four-year gap suggests the vehicle may have been stationary for a significant period, which can lead to specific mechanical issues unrelated to mileage, such as perished rubber components or seized calipers. During a test drive, specific attention must be given to the rear wheel bearing flagged in the 2022 record. Listen for a persistent humming or droning noise that changes in volume or pitch during cornering or as speed increases. The exhaust system should also be inspected for security, as it was previously recorded as loose; feel for excessive vibration through the chassis or listen for rattling during acceleration. Given the low mileage and the long period of inactivity, the buyer should check for binding brake calipers and ensure the brake pedal feels firm without excessive travel. The previous advisory regarding front brake pads nearing their minimum limit should be verified against current thickness. Finally, a thorough inspection of the tyres is required to identify any cracking or flat-spotting that may have occurred while the vehicle was off the road.
