2009 Honda TRX 0.4L Petrol · GD09 JYF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-11 at 17,606 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, a prior failure on 2025-12-09 at 17,599 miles—also with no defects—suggests an anomaly in the testing process or a potential administrative error. The absence of recorded issues in all other tests since 2022-11-28 (15,910 miles) implies consistent compliance, though the abrupt failure and subsequent pass raise questions about the reliability of the latest assessment. The vehicle’s mileage of 17,606 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 1,036 miles annually, a low figure that may reflect infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The MOT history shows gradual mileage increases, with 1,696 miles added between 2022 and 2025, averaging 565 miles per year. Notably, the final test in December 2025 recorded just 7 miles since the prior inspection, suggesting minimal recent usage. This pattern, combined with the lack of defects in all passes, indicates a well-maintained vehicle, though the low mileage could mask wear in components like suspension bushes or brake discs. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly coil springs and bushings, which may degrade during periods of inactivity. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as low mileage can lead to seized components. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions should also be verified, as the vehicle’s age increases the risk of rust or emissions-related issues. While the MOT records show no critical faults, the recent failure and sparse data warrant a physical assessment to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical condition.
