2008 Honda S2000 2.0L Petrol · LR08 FPD

This 2008 Honda S2000 has covered approximately 99,822 miles, averaging roughly 5,546 miles per year. This is a relatively low annual mileage for a vehicle of this age, which suggests it has been used as a weekend or fair-weather car rather than a daily commuter. While lower mileage often points to reduced wear on the drivetrain, it can also indicate long periods of inactivity, which may lead to seized components or rubber seals drying out. The recent MOT history presents a concerning pattern of maintenance standards. While the car passed its most recent test on May 29, 2026, it failed just one week prior due to a critical safety oversight: both rear wheels were missing three wheel nuts each. This is an alarming defect that suggests either extreme mechanical negligence or very poor workmanship during recent wheel removal. A car being presented for a roadworthiness test in such a dangerous state is a significant red flag regarding how the vehicle has been maintained. Looking at the broader history, the trend is inconsistent. The 2024 failure involved deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers, which is a common age-related wear issue for a car of this vintage. While these were noted, the subsequent 2025 pass suggests they were addressed.
