2010 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · AV10 TGO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in November 2025 at 65,612 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but shows a clear shift towards neglect regarding rubber-based components. While the car cleared the latest test without defects, the transition from a clean record to multiple tyre advisories indicates that the tyres are reaching the end of their functional life due to age-related degradation rather than tread wear. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 65,612 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 4,100 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage of roughly 3,300 to 3,400 miles between tests from 2022 and 2025. This low frequency of use often masks mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it explains the premature perishing of tyres and rubber components which dry out over time regardless of how many miles driven. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension and rubberwork. The failure in December 2023 at 56,885 miles due to a fractured offside front coil spring was an isolated incident, but the recurring advisories for cracking and perishing tyres in 2024 and 2025 suggest all four tyres are structurally compromised. These should be checked for sidewall cracks and replaced before purchase. Given the low mileage and age, also inspect the chassis for structural corrosion and check for seized brake calipers, as vehicles that sit for long periods often suffer from surface rust and sticking components in the braking system.
