2014 Honda SH 0.1L Petrol · LF64 MTX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on September 5, 2025. While the most recent test indicates a pass at 34,823 miles, the vehicle initially failed due to rear brake linings being below the legal 1.0mm limit. The fact that this issue was rectified immediately to achieve a pass with no further defects suggests a reactive approach to maintenance, though the overall trend remains stable over the last four years of testing. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2025, the car covered only 8,886 miles, moving from 25,937 to 34,823 miles. This low rate of use typically means less mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox, but it increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based components like suspension bushes and corrosion on brake discs due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the recent replacement of the rear linings was performed correctly. Given the failure for thin linings in 2025, the tester should check if the calipers have seized, which is common on low-use vehicles. Low mileage also necessitates a check for flat spots on the tyres and cracking in the sidewalls, as these components age faster than the tread wears down when the car sits stationary.
