2015 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · AK65 FML

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. The most recent test in April 2026 at 91,754 miles resulted in a pass only after a failure involving a dipped headlamp and multiple consumable defects. While the car passed, the advisories for thin front brake pads, pitted discs, and unevenly worn or perished tyres suggest that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach the point of MOT failure rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 91,754 miles over 11 years, the Honda averages approximately 8,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent use, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 12,700 miles in the year leading the latest test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which helps prevent internal degradation of rubber components, despite the accelerated wear seen in the suspension history. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the 2024 failure revealed severely deteriorated dust covers on both ball joints and a track rod end. While these were likely replaced post-failure, a check for play in the steering components is necessary to ensure a quality repair. The 2026 advisories regarding pitted brake discs and thin pads indicate the braking system is nearing the end of its service life and will require immediate investment soon. Furthermore, the uneven wear on the nearside front tyre suggests a potential alignment issue or a worn component that should be verified to prevent premature wear of new rubber.
