1986 Honda Civic CRX 1.6L Petrol · D861 NKY

The 1986 Honda Civic CRX presently passes its April 2026 MOT at 84,608 miles with no defects recorded and shows a stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen steadily from 81,683 miles in April 2023 to 84,608 miles in April 2026, an average annual increase of roughly 1,500 miles, consistent with the vehicle’s 40‑year lifespan and indicating regular, moderate use rather than long periods of standing or aggressive mileage accumulation. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check the condition of the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, inspect the chassis for structural rust, and verify the exhaust system’s integrity and emissions compliance, as these components commonly show age‑related deterioration even when MOTs record no defects. Overall, the documented history demonstrates a stable maintenance record with no recurring faults, suggesting the car has been cared for, but a physical inspection remains essential to confirm the absence of hidden corrosion, suspension fatigue, or brake wear before purchase.
