2018 Honda Civic 1.0L Petrol · CA18 RTV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in January 2026. The maintenance trend appears generally stable, though the most recent history indicates a lapse in basic consumable upkeep. A failure on 23 January 2026 at 35,853 miles resulted from an offside front tyre with tread depth below the legal limit, which prevented a full inspection of other testable items. Once this was rectified, the vehicle passed the test with no further recorded defects. At eight years old with 35,857 miles, this Honda Civic has covered significantly less distance than the, averaging 4,500 miles per year. This low usage profile suggests the vehicle has experienced minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. The record shows consistent testing intervals, with roughly 3,000 miles driven between May 2024 and February 2025, and another 7,000 miles between February 2025 and January 2026. However, low mileage can mask age-related degradation of rubber-based components. A buyer should inspect the tyres closely for perishing, as the 2023 test at 21,909 miles flagged cracking and damage on the nearside rear. Given the low mileage and age of the car, the sidewalls of all tyres may show dry rot despite sufficient tread. You should also examine the brake discs for corrosion or binding calipers, which often occur on vehicles that sit for extended periods. While no structural issues or deep-seated mechanical failures have appeared in the history, the physical condition of the chassis and suspension bushes should be verified to ensure the low mileage has not led to neglected maintenance.
