2003 Honda S2000 2.0L Petrol · FG53 YBO

This 2003 Honda S2000 has a clean recent MOT record, passing each year without any defects since 2022, aside from a minor exhaust leak noted in 2023. The last test in May 2026 was a clean pass, which is a positive sign. The overall condition trend appears stable. The single advisory for a minor exhaust leak in 2023 has not reappeared, suggesting it was either repaired or did not worsen enough to become a failure point. There is no evidence of worsening structural, suspension, or brake issues from the MOT data. The mileage of 164,048 miles is roughly typical for a 23-year-old car, averaging about 7,133 miles per year. This indicates consistent use rather than long periods of standing, which can help prevent seals from drying out. However, the mileage is high enough that wear on suspension bushes, dampers, and the soft-top mechanism is likely. A buyer should first inspect the exhaust system for any signs of corrosion or leaks, given the previous advisory. Check the condition of the soft-top for tears, sticking, or water leaks, as these are common on older S2000s.
