2010 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · LG60 AEV

This Honda Civic demonstrates an improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 23 May 2026 at 149,198 miles. The absence of advisories in the two most recent annual inspections suggests that the previous owner addressed the mechanical shortcomings identified in 2023 and 2024. The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status, indicating that the core safety systems, including braking and steering, meet current roadworthiness standards. The total mileage of 149,198 over sixteen years reflects a consistent usage pattern of approximately 9,300 miles per annum. The record shows a notable spike in usage between January 2024 and June 2025, where the vehicle covered over 11,000 miles in roughly seventeen months. This period of increased activity appears to have been managed well, as the vehicle transitioned from a failed test in early 2024 to a clean pass by mid-2025, suggesting that the owner remained proactive with servicing during higher-mileage intervals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the steering rack and front suspension components, as these areas were flagged for wear in 2024 and 2023 respectively. While the most recent tests show no defects, the history of play in the steering rack inner joints and worn suspension arm bushes warrants a check for any residual knocking or vague steering feedback on a test drive. Inspect the brake discs and tyre sidewalls closely, as the 2023 test highlighted pitting on the discs and perished rubber, both of which are common points of failure on a vehicle of this age and mileage. Ensure that the windscreen washer system, which caused a test failure in 2024, remains fully operational.
