2011 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · DV11 VNJ

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor , as evidenced by the failure of two MOT tests within a single test date of 2025-09-19, which occurred at exactly 126,329 miles. This indicates a severe maintenance trend that is worsening , as the car has not passed its first MOT since the initial test; the first test was passed in 2025 but the second failed in the same month. The most recent failure at 126,329 miles confirms that the vehicle has not been serviced recently, as the gap between the 2025-09-19 test and the current date of 2026-06-17 is approximately six months. The mileage profile suggests that the owner has likely engaged in rapid accumulation of wear rather than regular upkeep. At approximately 8,422 miles per year, the vehicle is approaching typical usage for its age, which implies that the owner has not maintained the vehicle at a safe distance. The gap between the 2025-09-19 and 2025-08-26 tests, where the vehicle failed twice on the same date, is significant, suggesting that the owner may have driven the car for less than 10,000 miles between these two events, or that the owner has not taken the vehicle to a MOT service in the intervening period. The lack of MOT history at the 126,329 mile mark indicates a lack of preventive maintenance, which is a critical indicator of reduced roadworthiness. In terms of mechanical risks, the history reveals structural and consumable wear that must be addressed by a qualified mechanic. The most critical finding is the corrosion of both sides of the coil springs and the pitting of the front brake discs , which are serious signs of impending failure. The failure of the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints also suggests that the suspension system is prone to catastrophic failure. A buyer should inspect the front and rear suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion and the brake discs for pitting or scoring before purchasing, as these components are likely to fail within the next few years. Additionally, the failure of the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints indicates that the suspension is not designed to handle high loads, and the lack of a MOT history at the 126,329 mile mark confirms that the owner has not performed regular servicing, leaving the vehicle vulnerable to sudden structural collapse.
