2018 Honda GLR 0.1L Petrol · LD18 MXF

The 2025-05-30 MOT at 14,057 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness, yet the preceding 2025-05-29 test at the same mileage recorded a serious offside front shock absorber fluid leak and contaminated front brake pads, showing an inconsistent maintenance record and a recent trend that oscillates between failure and pass rather than steady improvement. The vehicle’s 14,057 miles at eight years of age equate to roughly 1,757 miles per year, a figure lower than typical for its age but not unprecedented; however, mileage accumulation accelerated sharply after May 2022, with the 2022-05-31 test at 6,687 miles followed by a jump to 10,611 miles by June 2024 and the final reading of 14,057 miles in May 2025, suggesting periods of increased use or long idle intervals that have not been uniformly maintained. A buyer should therefore inspect the offside front shock absorber for fluid leakage, examine the condition of both front brake pads and the brake lever pivot for contamination or binding, verify the integrity of the drive chain tension and condition, and assess the rear suspension arm and swing arm for corrosion that may compromise structural integrity; additionally, the steering headbearing stiffness and any deformation of the handlebar should be checked to confirm that previous advisories have been fully rectified.
