2016 Honda WW 0.1L Petrol · DS65 OPX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the history reveals a pattern of addressing reactive mechanical issues. The most recent test on 30 March 2023 at 65,100 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a failure on the same day for misaligned headlamp aim. This suggests the owner is proactive enough to rectify immediate failures, yet the underlying history shows recurring wear in specific areas that have required attention over several years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. There is a significant jump in usage between February 2020 at 27,749 miles and March 2021 at 48,363 miles, where the car covered over 20,000 miles in a single year. Since then, usage has slowed back to roughly 16,000 miles per year. This low mileage is generally beneficial but can lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake components if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the rear wheel bearing, which was flagged with slight play in both March 2021 and March 2022. While the vehicle passed in 2023, the recurring nature of this fault indicates a component potentially nearing the end of its functional life. The buyer should also verify the front shock absorbers, which showed light oil misting in 2019, to ensure the leak has not progressed into a significant failure. Given that the last MOT was recorded over three years ago, the current state of the brakes, suspension bushes, and tyres requires a thorough evaluation before purchase.
