2009 Honda Elysion 2.4L Petrol · GP09 MXS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deteriorating front suspension components. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 151,015 miles passed, it flagged further wear on the front lower suspension bushes on both sides. This follows a progression from the 2024 failure where the ball joint dust covers were identified as severely deteriorated. The overall state of the suspension system is reaching the end of its functional life, requiring proactive rather than reactive maintenance. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 151,015 miles represents an average usage of approximately 8,883 miles per year. The data shows a consistent and regular usage pattern, with the vehicle covering roughly 13,000 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 11,000 miles leading into the latest test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, though it contributes to the gradual degradation of rubber-based components noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The recurring failures of ball joint dust covers and bushes across multiple years indicate that the entire assembly is under significant stress. The buyer should also investigate the non-excessive oil leak noted in 2024 to ensure it has not progressed into a failure. It is also necessary to check the rear brake pads, which were already flagged as wearing thin in 2023, and the rear tyres, which have consistently appeared near the legal limit in the two most recent tests.
