2017 Honda NC 0.7L Petrol · EX17 DFC

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend despite minor recurring mechanical observations. The most recent test on 19 June 2025 at 56,695 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester noted a slight fluctuation in brake effort at the rear. This suggests the early stages of uneven pad wear or caliper sticking which has not yet reached the threshold of failure but requires monitoring to ensure the braking system continues to perform. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Data shows very little movement between tests, with only 138 miles recorded between June 2023 and June 2024, and just 57 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This indicates the car likely undergoes short journeys or sits for extended periods, which preserves the engine and major drivetrain components but can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber seals and flat-spotting tyres due to lack of motion. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension, as the nearside front shock absorber was flagged for a light misting of oil in June 2023. While it passed subsequently, oil leaks in dampers are progressive and eventually lead to total failure. The rear brakes should also be checked for binding or excessive corrosion given the fluctuation in effort noted in 2025. Finally, verifying that the rear registration plate lamp functions and adjusting the headlamp aim after the 2024 failure ensures the electrical and lighting systems remain compliant with standards.
