2004 Honda GL 1.8L Petrol · DK53 FCA

The vehicle has maintained a stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in the most recent MOT tests at 9,522 miles in June 2025 and 9,167 miles in May 2024. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no significant mechanical or structural issues detected. The mileage pattern is unusually low for a 22-year-old vehicle. The recorded mileage dropped from 9,167 to 9,522 miles between the May 2024 and June 2025 tests, indicating a period of inactivity or reduced use. This could imply the vehicle was stored or used sparingly, which may have preserved its condition. However, the low mileage also suggests the vehicle has not accumulated significant wear on consumables or mechanical components, which is a positive indicator for long-term reliability. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus on visual inspections for signs of neglect or wear. Key areas to examine include the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components. The low mileage suggests these may still be in good condition, but any signs of fluid leaks, corrosion, or excessive wear would warrant further investigation. Additionally, check the exhaust system for leaks or excessive emissions, as these can indicate underlying mechanical issues. The vehicle's age and low mileage also mean that structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches and undercarriage, should be carefully inspected for signs of corrosion or rust.
