2017 Honda WW 0.1L Petrol · YF17 UFK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive repairs. The most recent MOT test in July 2025 at 22,596 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a restricted rear brake cable and a leaking offside rear shock absorber. While the vehicle passed the subsequent retest, the appearance of these faults indicates that components are beginning to require attention after a period of relatively clean records in the previous years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,511 miles per year. There is a significant two-year gap between the February 2023 test at 16,311 miles and the July 2025 test during which the car covered only 6,285 miles. This low usage explains the lack of mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it also increases the likelihood of age-related degradation of rubber components such as seals and bushes, which can deteriorate from sitting for long periods rather than high-mileage friction. A buyer must personally inspect the offside rear shock absorber to ensure the light misting noted in 2025 has not progressed to a significant leak that would compromise handling. The rear brake cable, which was flagged for restricted movement in the same 2025 test, should be checked for continued binding or corrosion. Given the 2020 failure for thin front brake pads, verify that the current remaining life on the brake pads and discs is sufficient, as low-mileage cars often suffer from surface rust or uneven wear if the brakes are not used frequently.
