2014 Honda SH 0.1L Petrol · LD64 XOS

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs rather than preventative replacement. The most recent test on 25 September 2025 at 89,406 miles passed, yet it carried over recurring issues from previous years. While the car avoids major mechanical failures, the persistence of specific wear-related faults across multiple testing cycles suggests that the owner only addresses components once they reach a critical threshold or cause an immediate MOT failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,450 miles per year. Between the 2023 test at 56,253 miles and the 2024 test at 71,976 miles, the car covered 15,723 miles, which represents a significant spike in usage but indicates the vehicle has not sat for long periods. This increased annual mileage likely accelerated the degradation of rubber components and the pitting of metal surfaces noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front shock absorbers, as the light misting of oil has been documented since the September 2023 test at 56,253 miles. While this has not yet triggered a failure, the persistence over two years indicates a failing seal that will eventually require strut replacement. Furthermore, the brake system consistently flags front and rear discs as worn or pitted in both 2024 and 2025. These conditions suggest the vehicle is operating with thin material and significant surface corrosion, which can compromise braking efficiency and accelerate pad wear if the discs are not replaced.
