2010 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · CV60 YOG

The 2010 Honda Civic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 October 2025 at 71,826 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from October 2022 through October 2024 also closed as passes with no advisories or faults noted. The record shows no worsening mechanical pattern and no recurring defects across the five-year span. The odometer sat at 59,777 miles for the October 2022 test, rose to 63,177 miles by October 2023, then 67,636 miles in October 2024, and reached 71,826 miles by October 2025. That equates to roughly 4,000 miles per year, consistent with the 71,826 total at sixteen years of age and confirming light use. The clean record with no corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions flags across this low-mileage period implies the previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. One anomaly warrants a closer look. On 7 October 2024 the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at 67,636 miles, both entries showing no defects recorded. A same-day fail with no listed fault often points to an administrative or documentation error at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect, but the buyer should obtain the full DVSA test certificate to confirm no suppressed advisory existed. Given the sparse and clean history, a pre-purchase inspection should still verify structural integrity beneath the sills and subframes for rust, check suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related degradation, and confirm brake disc thickness and caliper operation. Low mileage standing time can allow handbrake cables to seize and tyres to crack, so examine sidewall condition and tread even though the tests raised no tyre advisories.
