2010 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · AF10 LVM

The 2010 Honda Civic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 August 2025 at 162,675 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual examinations show the same clean outcome. The vehicle carries no outstanding advisories or failures in its recent history, which indicates consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. Annual mileage averages close to 10,167 miles against the car's sixteen-year life, a figure in line with typical use for this model. The records show steady accumulation: 104,644 miles in August 2022, 122,865 by July 2023, 143,760 at the August 2024 pass, and 162,675 by August 2025. A minor anomaly appears in early August 2024 when the car failed on 6 August at 143,727 miles yet passed three days later at 143,760 miles with no defects logged, suggesting a clerical or presentation issue at the first attempt rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse MOT data offers no flagged wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion across the examined period. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and brake component condition given the mileage, as high-mileage Hondas of this era commonly develop subframe rust and worn rear trailing arm bushes not always captured in a pass result. No recurring defects emerge from the record to imply neglected upkeep. The clean sweep of passes since 2022, barring the unexplained 2024 rejection, points to reasonable previous owner care. Verify service history and inspect consumables such as tyres and wiper blades at point of sale, though the MOT trail itself raises no serious mechanical red flags.
