2016 Honda Civic 2.0L Petrol · WJ16 AEB

This vehicle is currently roadworthy and shows a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 July 2026 at 54,776 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing the last two annual inspections without any advisories, suggesting the car is in a well-maintained state. The mileage is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,478 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last few years, increasing from 32,774 miles in February 2023 to 54,776 miles by July 2026. This low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and interior, though it can sometimes lead to issues with perished rubber components or battery degradation if the car sat idle for long periods. A review of the older records reveals a recurring issue with tyre wear. The tester flagged worn front tyres in February 2022 at 28,397 miles and again in February 2025 at 45,457 miles, where the offside front tyre contributed to a failure. The specific mention of wear on the edges and shoulders suggests a potential misalignment or worn suspension bushes that may have caused uneven tread wear. A buyer should verify the current tyre tread depth and check for uneven wear patterns across all four corners. While the brakes caused a failure in January 2020 due to thin rear pads at 22,547 miles, there have been no further brake-related advisories in six years. Given the low mileage and the history of tyre edge wear, a professional wheel alignment check is recommended to ensure the suspension geometry is correct.
