2011 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · AV61 ACU

The 2011 Honda Civic presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-08-29 at 104,989 miles recording a pass with no defects. This aligns with the prior three tests between 2022-08-22 and 2024-09-19, all of which also passed without issues. The absence of recorded defects in the last four consecutive tests suggests consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The single 2022-08-22 failure at the same mileage is noted but explicitly states no defects, implying a possible administrative error or minor non-critical issue resolved prior to retesting. The vehicle’s mileage of 104,989 miles over 15 years equates to an average of 6,999 miles annually, which is typical for its age. The MOT records show steady progression, with intervals between tests generally spanning 11–12 months, indicating regular compliance. Notably, the 2022-08-22 test appears duplicated, but the subsequent 2023-08-31 test at 93,758 miles confirms a clean record. No significant mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity periods are evident, suggesting consistent usage without excessive wear on consumables or structural components. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. The absence of corrosion reports in the MOT history is positive, but a thorough check for rust on the chassis and underbody is advised. While the brakes showed no issues in tests, binding calipers or uneven disc wear could develop unnoticed. The lack of advisories on tyres or exhaust emissions implies no urgent concerns, but a pre-purchase inspection should verify tyre tread depth and exhaust system integrity to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing compliance.
