2016 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · DP65 TXH

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 16 January 2026 at 48,032 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet across the last five annual tests indicates that the vehicle has been maintained in good mechanical condition and has not suffered from recurring structural issues often seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile reflects low usage for a ten-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 4,800 miles annually. Between January 2022 and January 2026, the vehicle covered 21,139 miles, showing a consistent pattern of use. The jump of 7,583 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests represents a slight increase in annual usage compared to the previous years. Such low mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, though it can occasionally increase the risk of rubber-based components degrading if the car sits for extended periods. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage operation. Buyers should check for cracking on tyres, perished suspension bushes, and seized brake calipers which can occur from age rather than distance traveled. Because the record has never flagged binding brakes or exhaust leaks, verify the underside for surface pitting or rust from low-frequency use. The lack of recorded faults suggests the previous owners were proactive, but the age of the vehicle means fluid integrity and rubber seals remain the priority.
