1992 Honda Legend 3.2L Petrol · K11 RDM

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently compromised due to a significant recent failure regarding structural integrity. While the car passed its tests in late 2024, the most recent inspection on 2 December 2025 at 79,445 miles resulted a failure. The tester identified the nearside rear suspension component mounting area as excessively corroded, significantly reducing structural strength. This represents a worsening trend from minor mechanical wear to critical structural degradation that requires immediate attention and repair. The vehicle exhibits exceptionally low mileage for its 34-year age, having covered only 79,445 miles. This averages to approximately 2,337 miles per year. The data shows long intervals between tests, such as the eighteen-month gap between the June 2023 and December 2024 tests, where the car covered only 3,306 miles. While low mileage often preserves engine and drivetrain components, it frequently leads to the degradation of rubber parts and accelerated surface corrosion due to moisture build-up during prolonged periods of standing. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to determine the extent of the corrosion beyond the flagged nearside rear mounting. The history shows a recurring issue with the offside front outer constant velocity boot, which failed in both June 2023 and December 2024. This suggests a pattern of reactive maintenance where components are replaced only upon failure rather than addressing the root cause of perish. Inspect all rubber boots for cracks or tears and check the entire chassis for similar thinning to ensure the structural rust is not isolated to a single mounting point.
