2010 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · PY10 AED

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of inconsistent testing. The most recent MOT conducted on 27 October 2025 at 109,679 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. While the history shows instances of failure in earlier years, the transition to clean sheets in the latest tests suggests the car is currently being maintained to a standard that meets minimum road safety requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,855 miles per year. There is a notable gap in testing data between August 2022 and May 2024, during which the vehicle covered only 1,070 miles. This low rate of use over two years suggests potential periods of standing, which can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or seized brake calipers. However, the accumulation of 4,479 miles between the May 2024 and October 2025 tests shows a return to regular usage patterns prior to the current date. A buyer should focus specifically on the suspension and braking system during a physical inspection. The recorded failures in 2022 and 2024 indicate that the vehicle previously required intervention in these areas to pass the test. Given the age of the Honda Civic, a close look at structural corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches is essential, as these are common points of failure for this generation. Checking for uneven tyre wear or testing perished suspension bushes will ensure that the low annual mileage has not resulted in neglected mechanical components.
