1997 Honda 0.1L Petrol · R87 VVR

The vehicle maintains a pristine roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on April 10, 2026, at 13,092 miles where no defects were recorded. This clean result reflects a stable maintenance trend over the last decade, suggesting the car has been kept in a controlled environment without the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 29-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 451 miles per year. Between October 2016 and April 2026, the vehicle covered only 2,015 miles, indicating long periods of storage or infrequent use. The gap between the 2019 test at 11,982 miles and the 2022 test at 12,114 miles shows minimal wear on drivetrain components, though such low usage introduces specific risks associated with stationary vehicles. Despite the lack of recorded faults, a buyer must focus the physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related decay rather than mileage-related wear. Rubber rubber elements such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidewalls may perish or crack regardless of low mileage. The tester found no issues with corrosion, but a manual check of the brake lines and structural integrity is necessary to ensure that rust has not developed during the long standing periods. Fluids should also be inspected for degradation, as brake fluid and coolant lose their properties over decades of inactivity.
