2006 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · DE06 WYA

The 2006 Honda Civic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 105,769 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, no recurring advisories, and no structural or mechanical risks flagged across the available history. Annual mileage remains low for a twenty-year-old car. The record shows 97,831 miles at the 4 June 2021 test, rising to 99,285 by 14 June 2022, 100,803 by 15 June 2023, 103,257 by 17 June 2024, and 105,769 by 26 June 2025. That equates to roughly 2,000 miles per year across the period, well below the national average. The clean sheet at every test suggests the previous keeper carried out basic upkeep and the car spent long periods stationary rather than covering high motorway distances. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection beneath the sills and subframes. Low-use Hondas of this era commonly develop corrosion in the rear suspension turrets and floor pan even when MOT tests show no advisories. The tester recorded no brake, suspension bush, or exhaust defects, but standing time allows calipers to seize and tyres to crack through age rather than wear. Check the date stamps on tyres, brake fluid condition, and handbrake travel during viewing. The MOT history implies careful, light use rather than neglected consumables, yet the absence of any advisory across five years means latent age-related defects will not appear in the official record.
