2014 Honda SH 0.1L Petrol · LM64 AEE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test in March 2026 passed with an advisory for worn rear brake discs, mirroring a recurring pattern of brake component wear. While the vehicle achieved a clean pass in early 2025, the 2023 failure due to a noisy exhaust and intermittent engine cutting out suggests that mechanical issues were occasionally ignored until they reached a failing grade. The mileage data shows a significant acceleration in usage during the later years of life. The car covered only 5,571 miles between October 2017 and July 2021, suggesting very low-intensity use. However, between July 2022 and August 2023, the mileage jumped by 22,600 miles, reaching the 70,592 mark. This sharp increase in annual indicates the vehicle transitioned from a low-mileage commuter to a high-use asset, which explains the more frequent wear on consumables like brakes noted in the later tests. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as the record consistently flags worn pads and pitted or scored discs since 2019. The progression from worn pads in 2021 to worn discs in 2023 and 2026 suggests long intervals between full brake services. Additionally, the notchy and stiff steering movement reported in 2017 should be re-evaluated during a test drive to ensure the rack or column has not developed further mechanical play. The intermittent cutting out noted in 2023 also warrants a check of the fuel system and ignition to ensure the root cause was actually resolved.
