2012 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · DA12 HXG

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 May 2025 at 106,784 miles, and the record shows a stable maintenance pattern with no recurring defects over the five‑year span. Mileage has risen from 90,838 miles in May 2022 to 106,784 miles in May 2025, an average of roughly 5,300 miles per year during that period, well below the overall average of 7,600 miles per year for the car’s 14‑year life. The incremental increase suggests moderate use rather than high‑stress operation, and the MOT entries contain no gaps or unexplained spikes that would indicate periods of neglect or intensive short‑term mileage accumulation. The absence of recorded faults means no specific component has been flagged for failure, yet a prudent buyer should still examine wear items that are not captured by MOT data. Check tyre tread depth and uniformity, inspect brake pads and discs for uneven wear, and verify that suspension bushings, coil springs and steering linkage move freely without binding or excessive play. A visual survey for any surface rust, especially around wheel arches and under‑body panels, will confirm the structural integrity that the MOT does not assess. A brief road test will reveal any hidden issues: listen for abnormal noises from the drivetrain, feel for pull or vibration that could indicate alignment or suspension problems, and ensure the engine idle is smooth. Confirm that all lights, indicators and the exhaust emissions system operate correctly, as these were all passed in the latest test but should be re‑checked in person before purchase.
