2016 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · BC66 HBO

The 2016 Honda Civic’s most recent MOT test on 3 December 2025—just 7 months ago—confirms it remains roadworthy without any defects or advisories recorded. This consistency across five consecutive annual tests (2022–2025) suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a baseline standard, with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The absence of advisories in the latest pass indicates no pending issues requiring immediate attention, though this does not preclude wear beyond MOT thresholds. The recorded mileage progression—from 69,968 miles in December 2022 to 98,361 miles today—averages approximately 9,836 miles annually, a rate typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in service intervals, though the duplicate entry for December 2024 (both a pass and a fail at the same mileage) appears anomalous and may warrant clarification from the seller. The most recent test aligns with current mileage, ensuring the vehicle has not been driven beyond its last inspection without re-testing. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components not routinely checked by the MOT tester. Focus on suspension integrity—particularly rear suspension bushes and coil springs—given the vehicle’s age and mileage, as these are prone to gradual deterioration. Brake systems, including rear caliper binding and front/rear disc thickness, should be verified, as binding brakes often go undetected without dynamic testing. Additionally, examine the underbody for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and sills, where salt ingress over ten years could compromise structural integrity. Tyre condition, while not failing here, should be cross-checked for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment or suspension issues.
