2006 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · PX06 AJO

The 2006 Honda Civic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 16 December 2025 at 153,325 miles which recorded no defects. Prior tests on 11 December 2024 at 150,911 miles and 18 December 2023 at 148,570 miles also passed cleanly. The single failure on 18 December 2023 at 148,570 miles shows no defects logged, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven stop. Across the three years of available data the vehicle cleared every meaningful examination without advisories on brakes, suspension, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 7,666 miles per year for a twenty-year-old car. The record moves from 146,384 miles on 6 January 2023 to 148,570 miles by 18 December 2023, then 150,911 miles on 11 December 2024, and 153,325 miles on 16 December 2025. Annual use held near 2,300 to 2,700 miles, reflecting light but consistent running rather than standing idle or high-load commuting. The sparse five-entry history offers no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected gaps, though the absence of earlier tests limits long-term wear judgement. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of age-sensitive components the MOT did not flag. At 153,325 miles the original suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will likely show fatigue even if within test limits. The December 2023 failure with no recorded defect warrants a check of the VIN plate, lighting, or paperwork the tester rejected on the day. Given the clean advisory sheet, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. The low yearly mileage suggests gentle use, but twenty years of corrosion exposure demands a physical check of sills, subframes, and floor pan for structural rust the annual test may not have escalated.
