2017 Honda SH 0.1L Petrol · EX17 DFK

The vehicle maintains a pristine roadworthiness status with a history of clean passes across its entire tenure. The most recent test conducted on 15 July 2025 at 3,182 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural condition remains optimal. This stable trend suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to significant mechanical stress or recurring component failures throughout its service life. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 354 miles per year. Between the January 2023 test at 858 miles and the July 2025 test at 3,182 miles, the car covered only 2,324 miles over two years. While this indicates minimal wear on consumables like tyres and brakes, the long intervals between tests, such as the eighteen-month gap between 2023 and 2025, can lead to different types of issues not captured by mileage alone. Because the MOT record shows no historical faults, a physical inspection should focus on risks associated with long-term storage rather than mechanical wear. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or seizing, as infrequently used brakes are prone to flat spotting and sticking. Check the rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre boots, for cracking or perish, as materials degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Verify the fluid levels for moisture contamination or degradation, which often occurs when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods.
