2004 Honda S2000 2.0L Petrol · DC54 CZK

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in November 2025, but the result highlights immediate maintenance needs. The tester recorded that both rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge, which means you will likely need to replace them shortly after purchase. There is a concerning pattern regarding the braking system. In July 2024, the car failed its MOT specifically because both rear inner brake pipes were excessively corroded, and the nearside brakes were binding. While the vehicle passed a retest two months later, indicating these specific defects were repaired, the sudden appearance of excessive corrosion on a car of this age is a significant risk. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging just over 3,500 miles per year. While this limits mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it strongly suggests the car has spent significant time standing still. This lack of use often causes brake components to seize and metal pipes to corrode from moisture accumulation, which aligns with the failure history seen in 2024. Aside from the serious brake issues, the history is relatively clean, with only a minor bulb failure in 2023. However, the trend appears to be worsening regarding age-related corrosion, as the car went from a clean history to major brake pipe defects in a short interval.
