2018 Honda GLR 0.1L Petrol · FN18 OEV

The 2018 Honda GLR presents a stable roadworthiness status with no active defects. The most recent test on 25 September 2024 at 2,799 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, continuing an unbroken sequence of satisfactory results since 2021. The maintenance trend is steady rather than worsening, with no recurring mechanical faults logged across the five-year record. Recorded mileage sits at 2,799 miles against an eight-year age, equating to roughly 350 miles per year. The DVSA data shows minimal accumulation: 2,183 miles on 17 September 2021, 2,191 on 4 October 2022, 2,198 on 19 October 2023, and 2,799 by September 2024. A notable quirk appears on 19 October 2023, where the tester issued a fail and a pass on the same day at identical mileage, with no defects cited either time, suggesting an administrative re-test rather than a genuine fault. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of neglect but equally little of regular use. Low standing mileage raises specific inspection priorities for a buyer. Extended dormancy promotes corrosion on structural members, brake discs, and exhaust systems even when a test shows no advisories. The buyer should physically check for rust on the frame and suspension mounting points, verify brake caliper freedom after prolonged inactivity, and confirm tyre sidewall condition given the original set may exceed six years. The absence of flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers in the record implies no ongoing wear trend. A pre-purchase check should still validate fluid condition and battery health, as infrequent running accelerates degradation invisible to MOT testers.
