2010 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · BJ10 CGG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed its latest test in February 2026 at 111,550 miles, it failed earlier that month due to an offside front anti-roll bar linkage failure, an incorrect headlamp aim, and insufficient washer fluid. The recurrence of the anti-roll bar linkage issue, which was an advisory in February 2025, suggests that components are only replaced once they fail. At 111,550 miles over sixteen years, the car has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-intensity usage for its age. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 7,500 miles covered between June 2024 and February 2025, and another 7,200 miles in the year leading to the most recent test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, though the age likely explains the degradation of rubber components and fluids as noted in the records. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension closely, specifically focusing on the anti-roll bar links and bushings, which have shown persistent wear. The 2024 record flagged all four tyres as worn to the limit with perished rear tyres, indicating that the owner may neglect basic consumable maintenance until it reaches a point of failure. The rear exhaust mounting, noted as defective in 2024, should be checked for corrosion and secure attachment to ensure the system has not become loose or noisy.
