2021 Honda Civic EX Vtec 1.0L Petrol · DS71 EUC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 30 March 2026 at 41,771 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a clear period of improvement following a significant failure in late 2025. While the most recent test indicates the car meets all legal standards, the history reveals that the owner previously neglected essential consumables that required immediate attention to pass the inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-moderate annual use, averaging approximately 8,350 miles per year over its five-year life. Between September 2024 at 33,329 miles and September 2025 at 40,926 miles, the car covered roughly 7,600 miles. This steady accumulation of mileage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which is generally beneficial for mechanical seals and braking components compared to a car that suffers long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system during a physical inspection. The September 2025 failure highlighted critical issues, including front brake pads below the 1.5mm threshold and thin rear pads, alongside worn front discs. Although these were rectified by the March 2026 pass, the buyer must verify that the new components have sufficient life and check for any signs of glazing or uneven wear. The previous advisory regarding rear tyres being worn on the edge also suggests potential alignment issues or suspension bushing wear, which should be checked against the current tyre wear patterns.
