2016 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · CT16 CTX

The 2016 Honda Civic presents a stable and highly favorable maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 1 December 2025 at 82,406 miles. The absence of any recorded defects across the last four consecutive annual tests indicates a vehicle that has been consistently maintained to a high mechanical standard. There are no recurring faults or escalating wear patterns to suggest underlying neglect. The annual mileage accumulation aligns precisely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 8,200 miles per year. Between the December 2024 test at 75,977 miles and the December 2025 test at 82,406 miles, the car covered 6,429 miles, reflecting steady, regular use rather than prolonged standing or excessive short-journey running. The record is notably clean, with the sole anomaly being a failed test on 12 December 2022 at 64,082 miles that paradoxically lists no defects recorded, though a clean pass was issued on the same day at the identical mileage. Given the entirely defect-free MOT history, there are no specific recurring mechanical failures demanding immediate scrutiny. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of standard wear components appropriate for a ten-year-old vehicle. Check the condition of the tyre tread and sidewalls, ensuring the rubber has not perished despite the low annual mileage. Examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for any deterioration that might not yet constitute a MOT failure but could indicate impending wear. Verify the structural integrity of the underbody and suspension mounting points for corrosion, a common issue as vehicles of this age accumulate road salt exposure.
