2016 Honda GLR 0.1L Petrol · SC16 JWX

The vehicle is currently in the road, but the MOT record indicates a deteriorating trend in its mechanical condition. The most recent test on 2025-11-05 was a failure of the rear brake, which is a critical component for safety, and a failed rear tyre tread that has exceeded the legal limit. This latest assessment confirms that the previous owner had a history of brake binding and tyre wear, suggesting that basic upkeep was skipped or maintained poorly over the past two years. The pattern of failing on the rear brake and tyre suggests the mechanical integrity of the rear axle and suspension has degraded, which is a serious structural risk requiring immediate attention. The mileage pattern reveals significant gaps in the vehicle's service history. The vehicle was tested in 2025 with only 10,990 miles, while the most recent test in 2024 was completed at 9,378 miles. This means the vehicle has been driven for approximately 7,612 miles since the last MOT, which is a substantial accumulation of wear. Given that the vehicle is about 10 years old, this gap represents a period of rapid mileage accumulation, likely due to frequent short trips or heavy usage, which accelerates the degradation of suspension components, brakes, and drivetrain parts. The lack of a MOT in 2023 and the subsequent failure in 2024 further indicate that the vehicle has not been serviced in a timely manner since the previous year. Given the recurring faults of rear brake binding and tyre wear, the vehicle presents a high risk of future failure, particularly if the owner continues to drive it without addressing the worn suspension and brake components. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to verify the integrity of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as well as check for corrosion on the exhaust and structural integrity of the chassis. The history of a failed rear brake and worn tyres suggests that the vehicle has not undergone a full service interval, meaning the drivetrain and suspension are likely in poor condition. Therefore, the roadworthiness is not merely a matter of passing a test but a matter of ongoing mechanical risk that requires immediate professional inspection and potential repairs before the vehicle is put into service.
