2020 Honda Civic SR Vtec CVT 1.0L Petrol · DV69 FTU

The 2020 Honda Civic SR VTEC CVT presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at 43,954 miles on 7 January 2026. That most recent test recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all DVSA roadworthiness standards. A minor electrical fault on the nearside front outline marker lamp was identified and rectified on the same date, suggesting the owner addressed the issue promptly rather than deferring it. Across the full history, there are no recurring structural, braking, or suspension failures, which is a positive indicator of underlying mechanical integrity. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 7,326 miles per year, which is typical for a six-year-old vehicle and implies regular, consistent use rather than prolonged standing or extreme annual distances. The recorded intervals show steady progression from 18,409 miles in January 2023 to 26,310 miles in January 2024, then to 36,226 miles in January 2025, and finally 43,954 miles in January 2026. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would suggest clocking or extended periods of inactivity. The annual test pattern also confirms the vehicle has been maintained on a regular yearly cycle without missed MOTs. The only recurring theme in the advisory history relates to rear tyre wear, flagged in the January 2024 test at 26,310 miles when both nearside and offside rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge. This pattern often points to rear wheel alignment drift, worn suspension bushes, or dampers allowing uneven contact patch loading. A prospective buyer should inspect the rear tyres closely for inner or outer edge wear, check the condition of rear suspension components including trailing arm bushes and shock absorbers, and verify that the rear alignment is within specification. The 2026 clean pass suggests the issue may have been addressed, but physical inspection remains prudent. Beyond tyres, the record is notably clean. No brake defects, exhaust emissions failures, corrosion warnings, or steering faults have been flagged at any point. The CVT transmission has not presented any recorded issues across four tests. A buyer should still conduct a road test to confirm smooth transmission operation, listen for suspension knocks over rough surfaces, and verify that all electrical functions operate correctly, including the previously flagged marker lamp. Overall, the MOT data paints a picture of a well-maintained vehicle with no serious mechanical red flags.
