2004 Honda Stepwagon 2.0L Petrol · WD54 USO

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing an improving maintenance trend over the last three years. Following the most recent test in November 2025 at 147,822 miles, the Stepwagon passed with no recorded defects. This marks a significant improvement from the failure in late 2022, indicating that the current owner has addressed necessary repairs and maintained a clean inspection record thereafter. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between November 2023 and November 2025, the car covered 10,296 miles, representing a steady usage profile. The intervals between annual tests are regular, suggesting the vehicle is used consistently rather than sitting for long periods. This lack of rapid mileage accumulation reduces the likelihood of extreme strain, though neglected mileage often leads to accelerated deterioration of rubber components and fluid seals. While the recent records are clean, a buyer must focus their physical inspection on areas common to this age and model. The 2022 failure highlighted a worn offside rear tyre and a faulty fog lamp, which are basic consumable issues, but the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at structural integrity around the sills and wheel arches. Inspect the suspension bushes for signs of cracking or perished rubber, as the MOT does not test for minor play until they cause a mechanical failure. Check the brake system for binding calipers or excessive disc corrosion, as these are frequent failure points on older cargo vehicles like this Stepwagon.
