2010 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · LG60 AEX

The 2010 Honda Civic exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-06-09 at 109,892 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2024 to 2023 also showed passes with no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on 2022-06-06 at the same mileage as the subsequent 2022-06-13 pass raises questions about potential unresolved concerns. The absence of defects in later tests suggests any prior issues were addressed, but the duplication of mileage in consecutive tests warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging 6,868 miles annually over 16 years. From 83,363 miles in 2022 to 109,892 in 2025, the accumulation shows steady growth without abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The 2022-06-06 failure at 83,363 miles, followed by a pass just a week later, may indicate a minor fault rectified quickly or an administrative error. The lack of recurring defects in subsequent tests implies no systemic mechanical decline, though the car’s age necessitates closer inspection of high-mileage components. A buyer should prioritize checking suspension components, such as worn suspension bushes or coil springs, which are common in 16-year-old vehicles. The failed 2022 test, though unresolved in the record, could hint at unresolved issues like binding calipers or brake disc warping, which might resurface. Corrosion under the chassis, particularly around the exhaust system, and wear on brake pads or discs should also be assessed. While the MOT history shows no major faults, the car’s age and the 2022 anomaly underscore the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm continued reliability.
