2011 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · DU11 THN

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a history of reactive maintenance rather than proactive preventative care. While the most recent recorded test in June 2022 at 113,717 miles was a pass, it followed a significant failure just one day prior involving critical suspension components. The lack of any MOT data since June 2022 indicates the vehicle has been out of test status for nearly four years, which significantly increases the risk regarding the current state of mechanical components and safety equipment. The mileage pattern appears consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap of over 14,000 miles between February 2021 and June 2022, which suggests a period of heavy use that likely accelerated the wear of the shock absorbers and suspension bushes noted in the subsequent failure. The absence of records for the last 48 months is a major red flag, as it provides no evidence that the degradation of rubber components, brake lines, or structural integrity has continued without professional oversight. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The June 2022 record revealed serious fluid leaks from both front shock absorbers and deteriorated ball joint dust covers, which often indicate systemic wear across the assembly. The reported corrosion on the rear brake hose ferrules is a developing safety risk. You should also inspect the offside front area for the extent of the recorded oil leak and check the rear axle swivel pins for excessive play, as these mechanical issues were flagged as worn during the last known test.
