Honda Ww (2017)
2017 Honda Ww
CarHunch analysed 1,945 real MOT records for the 2017 Honda Ww. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2017 Honda WW passes its MOT first time in 88.2% of cases, well above the UK average of 80%, which is a solid reliability indicator—though the 32.9% of vehicles that have ever recorded a dangerous defect is notably high and worth taking seriously as a buyer. This suggests good baseline build quality, but individual examples do develop significant safety issues over time.
At a median mileage of just 21,500 miles for a seven-year-old car, these vehicles are running light, which partly explains the strong pass rate. With an average of 0.71 failures and 2.9 advisories per test, most cars need minor attention rather than major repairs—but before buying, get a full pre-purchase inspection to catch any that harbour those dangerous defects early.
What to check before buying a 2017 Honda Ww
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 32.9% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
