Our Verdict

A highly recommended prospect for collec

Given the age of this vehicle and its very low mileage, your primary focus should be on verifying how it has been stored and if it has been used regularly. Extremely low mileage on a vehicle from 1991 can sometimes lead to dried-out rubber seals, perished hoses, or tyre age issues, regardless of tread depth.

When negotiating, ask for any evidence of mechanical maintenance that exists outside of the MOT testing regime. Because the 2024 MOT failure involved a missing rear reflector and headlamp aim, check that all external lighting components and lenses are present, clear, and functioning correctly.

Running costs for this small-capacity 398cc petrol engine will be relatively low in terms of fuel consumption, though parts for a vehicle of this vintage may require more specialist attention than a modern equivalent. Tax and insurance groups for a vehicle of this engine size and age are typically low.

Expect annual maintenance costs to be influenced more by age-related component replacement (such as belts or seals) rather than wear and tear from mileage. A typical annual budget should account for periodic specialist servicing to maintain its condition.

Specifically inspect the lighting system and external trim. The 2024 MOT failure noted a headlamp aim issue and a missing rear reflector; ensure the current headlamp alignment is correct and that all reflectors and light housings are securely fitted and undamaged.

Check all rubber components, including suspension bushings and engine mounts, as low-mileage older vehicles can suffer from age-related degradation. Additionally, inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking, which can occur even if the tread appears deep due to the age of the rubber.

This 1991 Honda, finished in white, presents with remarkably low mileage of just 54,798 miles recorded in August 2026. The MOT history shows a pattern of recent passes, including two consecutive years with no defects recorded. While there was a failure in April 2024 regarding lighting and a missing reflector, the vehicle has since cleared all tests without further issue.

No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific Honda model variant.
