2017 HONDA CIVIC1.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes despite low annual usage. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 43,344 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced advisories regarding tyre condition. These notes indicate minor consumable wear rather than systemic mechanical or structural failure, suggesting the primary components of the Honda remain within acceptable operating parameters for the current date. The mileage profile reflects a low-use pattern, averaging approximately 4,816 miles per year over its nine-year life. There is a significant gap in records between November 2020 and August 2024, during which the car covered only 8,328 miles. This period aligns with the COVID-19 MOT extension era and suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to degradation of rubber components and oxidation of brake fluid, which are independent of the total miles recorded on the odometer. A buyer should specifically inspect the tyre set, as the August 2025 test flagged the nearside rear tyre for uneven wear and the offside rear tyre for cracking or perishing. These symptoms are typical of vehicles that spend long durations parked, causing the rubber to age out rather than wear through friction. Inspection of the brake discs for corrosion and seized calipers is also advisable, as low-frequency use can lead to surface rust on the metalwork. The absence of structural rust or suspension failures in the history suggests the core integrity of the chassis remains sound.
