2017 Honda Civic 1.0L Petrol · AF67 ODP

A pattern of intermittent consumable wear and minor functional defects characterizes this vehicle's recent MOT history, though the most recent test on 07 August 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The record shows a fluctuating trend of advisories, moving from significant concerns regarding tyre tread depth and brake pad thickness in 2021 to more recent, isolated issues such as a windscreen washer failure in August 2025 and a nail in the offside rear tyre later that month. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass rate, the presence of multiple advisories over the years indicates that components such as tyres and braking elements have required periodic attention to remain within legal limits. The recorded mileage of 87,686 miles against a 2017 registration suggests a consistent usage profile of approximately 9,743 miles per year. This annual accumulation is typical for a vehicle of this age and indicates steady road use rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway mileage. Mechanically, this level of usage suggests that wear on consumable items like brake pads, tyres, and wiper blades should be consistent with the age of the vehicle, and the regular testing intervals suggest the vehicle has been in active service throughout its lifespan. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition during a physical inspection and test drive. Given the 2021 advisories regarding thinning brake pads on both front pads, it is essential to check for any signs of uneven pad wear or binding calipers. During a test drive, listen for any squealing when applying the brakes and feel for any pulsation or judder through the brake pedal, which could indicate warped discs. Furthermore, the recent advisory for a nail in the offside rear tyre in 2025, combined with previous notes on edge wear, necessitates a thorough visual inspection of the current tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity to ensure no recurring punctures or alignment-related wear patterns exist. The history also notes instances where under trays were fitted, which can occasionally obscure a full visual inspection of the underside components. While no structural corrosion or suspension defects have been formally recorded, the presence of under trays means a buyer should ideally request a visual check of the subframe and exhaust system to confirm there is no hidden buildup of debris or early-stage corrosion. Additionally, following the 2025 failure regarding the windscreen washer system, verify that the washer pump operates effectively and that the spray pattern is clear and unobstructed to ensure full visibility and compliance.
