HONDA CIVIC2012 · 1.8L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 25 June 2025 at 65,085 miles returned no defects whatsoever, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety standards. This follows a period of consecutive clean passes since 2022, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle effectively and prevented mechanical issues from becoming recurring. The mileage profile is notably low for a fourteen-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 4,650 miles per year. Between July 2024 and June 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 5,400 miles, showing a consistent low-usage pattern. The failure recorded on 1 July 2022 at 44,156 miles followed immediately by a pass just three days later at 44,179 miles indicates a minor issue that was rectified promptly rather than chronic neglect. This low annual mileage generally results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine-related components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade with age rather than just distance. Because the car has sat for long periods, rubber elements such as suspension bushes, drive belts, and tyre sidewalls may show signs of cracking or dry rot. Check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles often suffer from seized calipers or rusted surfaces. While the MOT history is clean, verifying the structural integrity of the sills and arches remains essential to ensure hidden rust has not compromised the frame over its fourteen years of service.
