2011 HONDA CIVIC1.3L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years of testing. The most recent inspection on October 9, 2025 at 43,256 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced advisories regarding perishing rubber on three tyres. This indicates that while the mechanical and structural components remain compliant, the consumable items are reaching the end of their life life age rather than mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,884 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 41,396 miles and October 2024 at 42,785 miles, the car covered only 1,389 miles. This consistent low-usage suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly, which reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but also increases the risk of dry-rot, seized brake calipers, and fluid degradation due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyre set, as the October 2025 record flags cracking and perishing on the offside front and rear tyres. Given the low mileage, the inspector must also check for brake corrosion on the discs and seized sliders, which often occur on cars that sit stationary. While the MOT history shows no structural rust or recurring suspension failures, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check of the wheel arches and underbody to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying environmental corrosion.
