2003 Honda S2000 2.0L Petrol · OY03 APZ

The May 2025 test at 75,472 miles returned a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded, continuing a sequence of four consecutive passes stretching back to April 2022. The maintenance trend presents as stable and notably clean; the single failure recorded on the same day as the April 2022 pass carries no defect data, suggesting an administrative entry or immediate retest rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation has slowed dramatically in recent years, climbing just 1,327 miles between the April 2022 test at 74,145 miles and the latest inspection three years later. This equates to roughly 440 miles per annum, a fraction of the 3,281-mile lifetime average, indicating the roadster has spent long periods off the road. Such low usage on a 23-year-old chassis often masks deterioration that annual testing alone cannot reveal. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system, specifically checking for seized caliper pistons and heavily corroded discs that result from extended storage. Suspension bushes and ball joints deserve close scrutiny for drying and cracking, while the aluminium subframes and steel sills require examination for the corrosion common to the platform. Verify the age and condition of the tyres regardless of tread depth, and confirm brake fluid and coolant change intervals, as time degrades these fluids more aggressively than mileage.
