2018 Honda WW 0.1L Petrol · LG68 RXC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in January 2026 at 50,413 miles resulted in an initial failure due to critical front brake pad wear below 1.0mm. While the vehicle passed immediately after remedial work, the appearance of new advisories regarding a misting rear shock absorber and a worn brake pedal bearing indicates that components are beginning to reach the end of their service life simultaneously at this age. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between the October 2023 test at 15,566 miles and the January 2026 test at 50,413 miles, representing over 34,000 miles driven in just two years. This burst of usage likely explains the accelerated wear seen on the front brakes, which were already noted as nearing the limit during the September 2022 test at 45,954 miles. A buyer should personally inspect the front braking system to ensure the recent replacement was carried out correctly and that the discs were not scored by the thin pads. The flagged nearside rear shock absorber requires close monitoring, as misting often precedes a total seal failure that will fail the next test. Additionally, the movement in the nearside front upper brake lever should be checked for excessive play or pedal feel, as a worn pivot or bearing can eventually lead to inconsistent braking performance if left unaddressed.
