2015 Honda Civic 1.6L Diesel · CX15 UAV

The 2015 Honda Civic holds a valid MOT pass dated 10 March 2026 at 128,120 miles, yet the advisory items recorded at that most recent test point to a maintenance pattern that is stable but deteriorating in several wear areas rather than resolving. The tester flagged slight play in the offside front track rod end ball joint and play in the offside front steering rack inner joint, both of which indicate cumulative wear in the steering linkage. Front brake discs were noted as worn, pitted or scored, and front brake pads were wearing thin, suggesting the braking system is approaching a service interval. Both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge, with cuts also recorded on the nearside front, offside front, and nearside rear tyres. None of these items caused a failure, but together they show a vehicle where consumable components and steering wear are accumulating without clear evidence of recent proactive replacement. The mileage progression is broadly consistent with typical use for an eleven-year-old car. The vehicle covered roughly 12,271 miles between the March 2025 test at 115,849 miles and the March 2026 test at 128,120 miles, following an earlier interval of 13,210 miles between March 2024 at 102,639 miles and March 2025. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded odometer readings, and the annual distance covered sits close to the 11,647 miles per year average implied by the vehicle's age. The record is complete with no missing annual tests, giving a reliable picture of steady, moderate use. A buyer inspecting this Civic in person should focus on the front suspension and steering components, given the recurring advisories around track rod ends, steering rack inner joints, and front tyre wear patterns. Edge wear on both front tyres could indicate misaligned tracking or worn suspension bushes, and the slight play flagged in the rack inner joint warrants a close check for clunking or vagueness in the steering. The front brake discs showing pitting and scoring, combined with thin pads, mean a brake overhaul is likely imminent. Tyre condition should be examined carefully across all four wheels, as cuts have appeared on multiple tyres across successive tests, raising questions about kerb damage or underinflation. The parking brake lever adjustment fault from the March 2025 failure appears to have been rectified for the subsequent pass, but a quick check of parking brake function on a slope would confirm the repair has held.
