2004 Honda VTX 1.3L Petrol · RC02 HOY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a remarkably clean maintenance history. The most recent test on 09 July 2025 at 24,512 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day that also listed no defects. This anomaly suggests a clerical error or a minor retest requirement that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle has maintained a clean-sheet record across the previous three annual tests. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,114 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between September 2022 and July 2023, where the car covered only 65 miles. Between July 2023 and July 2024, the mileage increased by just 2 miles, indicating the vehicle sat stationary. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk associated with age-related degradation and fluid breakdown due to long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by time rather than mileage. You must check all rubber elements, including suspension bushes and brake hoses, for perish or cracking. Because the vehicle has been used infrequently, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not seized from disuse. Additionally, verify the age of the tyres for dry rot rather than tread depth, as low-mileage cars often suffer from perished rubber despite having significant remaining tread.
