2018 Honda ADV 750-J 0.7L Petrol · RK18 ADU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2023-09-19 at 9,601 miles showed a pass with no defects, but the prior test on 2023-08-09 at the same mileage recorded a failure without recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unrecorded faults. Subsequent tests from 2022-10-04 (9,501 miles) and 2021-05-21 (5,844 miles) were passable, while an earlier failure on 2021-05-11 (5,831 miles) also lacked defect details. The pattern shows no clear mechanical deterioration, but the lack of recent MOTs beyond 2023 raises concerns about compliance and unmonitored wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 9,601 miles over eight years equates to approximately 1,200 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. A sharp increase from 5,844 miles in May 2021 to 9,501 miles by October 2022 suggests intermittent use, which could lead to component stiffness or corrosion in stationary periods. The absence of MOT records post-2023 further limits insight into its current condition, as critical systems like brakes, suspension, and emissions may have degraded without inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking for corrosion in the exhaust system and underbody, common in low-mileage vehicles left unused. Inspect brake components for uneven wear or binding, as the 2021 failure may indicate unresolved issues. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be assessed for dryness or cracking, while the structural integrity of the chassis and body panels remains critical to verify. The lack of recent MOT data necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm no hidden faults have emerged.
