2018 Honda GLR 0.1L Petrol · AY68 UHA

The 2023‑09‑27 MOT at 21,212 miles recorded a PASS with no defects, showing that the vehicle now meets the required standards after the September 2023 failure. The trend has shifted from a defect‑laden test to a clean pass, indicating improved maintenance. Mileage rose from 12,349 miles in August 2021 to 20,609 miles by September 2022, a gain of roughly 8,260 miles in one year, before adding only 603 miles in the next twelve months, reflecting a recent increase in usage. A buyer should therefore examine the front brake lever for straightness, measure pad thickness against the minimum limit, and inspect the brake disc for scoring or corrosion, as the earlier failure noted excessive effort fluctuation and grabbing. The drive chain and cushion drive rubbers have shown repeated looseness, so checking chain tension, sprocket wear and rubber play is essential. The deformed handlebar and missing exhaust heat shield suggest structural or cosmetic concerns that merit visual and functional assessment. Inspectors must examine the suspension bushes, coil springs and chassis for wear or rust, given the vehicle’s age and the earlier advisory on brake pad wear. Overall, the recent pass confirms that remedial work resolved the prior defects, but the recurring chain and brake anomalies indicate that a thorough in‑person inspection of braking components, drivetrain tension and structural integrity remains advisable before purchase.
