2009 Honda SH 300 A-9 0.3L Petrol · DG59 LDN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 17 March 2026 confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, maintaining a flawless pass history across all five inspections since 2021. This consistency suggests the car has been subjected to either meticulous maintenance or minimal usage, as no advisories or recurring issues have emerged. The absence of failures on critical systems—such as brakes, suspension, or emissions—implies no obvious neglect, though the low mileage complicates traditional wear-and-tear expectations. The recorded mileage of 17,190 miles over nearly 17 years—averaging just 1,011 miles annually —is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests is also notable: the car was last driven 5,064 miles between the 2023 and 2021 MOTs, a period of 26 months , indicating prolonged periods of inactivity. Such low mileage could mean the vehicle has been stored, potentially exposing components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and battery connections to prolonged stress or corrosion. The lack of intermediate mileage readings also prevents verification of consistent usage patterns. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension integrity , particularly the condition of bushes and coil springs, which may have degraded despite low mileage due to static loading. The brakes, while never failed, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, as minor issues can escalate without regular use. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and underbody panels warrants scrutiny, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods outdoors. Finally, the battery and electrical connections—often overlooked in low-mileage cars—should be tested for corrosion or degradation, as prolonged inactivity can compromise their reliability.
