    Ignore the score. The recent insolvency will be the problem.

    Bike finance is easier to obtain as it's secured but you won't know until you apply.
  • thanks for the reply!
    I've also had one bike previously with honda finance although i missed a lot of payments but it was all paid off about a year ago, will this change anything?

    Well it certainly won't do anything for your chances of success with Honda.

    although i missed a lot of payments

    Missing payments may well have caused a black mark against you, even if you did pay up in the end. Having to chase up borrowers who don't pay back on time and in full causes a lot of extra admin expense that lenders could well do without.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    Insolvency that was fairly recent and a history of missed payments with this particular lender. I think a loan from Honda finance is unlikely.
