2010 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · BF60 ABX

The 2026‑05‑06 MOT passed the 2010 Honda Civic with only minor defects, confirming its current roadworthiness. The record shows a stable maintenance pattern, with no major mechanical failures since the 2017 failure and only incremental wear on suspension and braking components. The mileage has risen from 60,774 miles in December 2017 to 133,235 miles by May 2026, averaging about 8,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 16‑year‑old vehicle. There are no extended periods of inactivity evident; the interval between the 2017 test and the 2020 test spans roughly 2.5 years and 24,216 miles, indicating consistent use rather than long standing. A buyer should prioritize inspection of the rear suspension swivel pins and bushes, which showed slight wear in 2025 and may affect handling, and the corroded front coil springs noted in the same year, which could compromise ride quality. The repeated wear of rear brake discs, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened, warrants a close check of brake pad thickness and caliper movement, while the slight play in the near‑side front track rod end ball joint observed in 2026 suggests a need to examine steering linkage for binding. Tyre wear patterns on the near‑side and off‑side rear tyres, recurring close‑to‑legal limits, point to possible alignment or suspension issues that should be verified on the road. Overall, the vehicle presents as mechanically sound with manageable wear, but the recurring brake and suspension advisories indicate that a thorough in‑person inspection of the listed components is advisable before purchase.
