2010 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · DV60 VRT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive repairs. While the car passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 110,214 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior involving multiple defects. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to consecutive failures in the last two years suggests that the current owner may only be addressing faults when necessary to pass the legal test, rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 110,214 miles, this 16-year-old Honda has averaged approximately 6,900 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-to-moderate usage. The data shows a steady accumulation of roughly 7,000 miles between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 7,100 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This consistent mileage indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which explains the wear seen on consumable components like tyres and brake pads noted in the recent failure reports. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension thoroughly, as the anti-roll bar linkage ball joint was flagged as excessively worn in both 2025 and 2026. This recurring failure suggests the component was either replaced poorly or that related bushings are experiencing accelerated wear. The braking system also requires attention; the tester noted imbalanced rear brakes in 2025 and thin front pads in April 2026. You should verify that the calipers are not binding and check the brake discs for significant scoring or uneven wear, as the history indicates the system is reaching the end of its service life.
