2020 Honda NSC 110 MPD-K 0.1L Petrol · KP70 EFG

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-10-13 confirms it remains roadworthy, though with a single minor advisory—front tyres worn close to the legal limit—indicating no critical failures. The trend over the past two years is unstable, with a failed test in October 2024 for brake efficiency and insufficient rear brake lever travel, followed by a passing test just two weeks later at the same mileage. This suggests either a partial repair or a temporary bypass of the underlying issue, as the front brake pads were also flagged as close to minimum thickness in both the failed and subsequent pass tests. The 2023 test at 7,869 miles shows no defects, but the sudden spike in mileage to 24,411 by October 2024—an average of over 16,000 miles in under a year—may have accelerated wear on components like brakes and suspension. The recorded mileage of 25,353 miles over six years suggests unusually light usage, averaging just 4,226 miles annually, which could imply prolonged periods of inactivity. This pattern is unusual for a vehicle of this age, as low mileage often correlates with deferred maintenance rather than consistent, low-mileage operation. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests—where mileage jumped from 7,869 to 24,411—raises questions about whether the vehicle was stored or driven sporadically during that period, potentially leading to issues like brake corrosion or suspension stiffness from disuse. A buyer should prioritise an immediate inspection of the brake system, particularly the rear calipers and master cylinder, given the repeated advisories on brake efficiency and lever travel. The 2024 failure for insufficient rear brake reserve suggests either worn components or hydraulic binding, while the front pads being close to minimum thickness in two consecutive tests indicates they may have been serviced but not replaced. Suspension bushes and coil springs should also be examined for wear, especially if the vehicle was stored for extended periods, as this can cause premature degradation. Finally, the front tyres, though currently legal, are at the limit and should be checked for uneven wear or remaining tread depth, as this could signal alignment or balance issues.
