2018 Honda Civic 1.0L Petrol · AX18 AEB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 99,642 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car is currently meeting all statutory safety requirements. This follows a period of clean passes in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that mechanical issues are being managed. The mileage data reflects a high rate of use, averaging approximately 12,455 miles annually over its eight-year life. There is a significant jump in usage between May 2022 (68,442 miles) and April 2023 (94,146 miles), where the vehicle covered over 25,000 miles in a single year. However, the accumulation has slowed recently, with only 3,221 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests. High mileage places increased stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and consumables. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, noting the failure in June 2021 at 51,268 miles where both front and rear pads were below the 1.5mm threshold. While these were clearly replaced shortly after, the high mileage suggests that frequent inspection of brake discs for thinning or signs of caliper binding is necessary. The 2022 advisory regarding the TPMS lamp indicates a lapse in basic tyre pressure maintenance, though this was resolved. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the suspension geometry and any potential structural corrosion on the underbody is essential to ensure the high usage has not compromised the vehicle's integrity.
