2018 Honda Civic 1.5L Petrol · K25 VXY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recurring failure to address consumable wear. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 64,178 miles passed, the tester flagged both front tyres and the nearside rear tyre as being worn to the edges. This follows a pattern seen in March 2024 at 44,659 miles where both front tyres showed similar edge wear, suggesting a persistent neglect of tyre maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a steady progression of roughly 9,700 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 9,800 miles between 2025 and 2026. This regularity suggests standard road use rather than long periods of standing, though the interval between the tests and the resulting advisories indicates the owner only reacts to faults when they are flagged during annual inspections. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension and alignment settings, as the repeated reports of edge wear on the tyres often point to uneven camber, worn bushes, or incorrect tracking. The 2025 test at 54,333 miles noted thin front brake pads, which necessitates a physical check of the remaining friction material and the condition of the discs. Additionally, the damaged engine undertray mentioned in 2025 should be inspected to ensure it is securely fastened and not dragging or impacting components like the exhaust system.
