2017 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · DX17 WDG

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently good, but the maintenance trend is clearly worsening, indicating a lack of consistent upkeep. The most recent test on 2026-03-10 was passed at 47,742 miles, which is the only valid record available, suggesting no significant wear has occurred since that date. This stability is contrasted by a failure on 2025-03-04 at 43,955 miles, where the tester flagged offside front tyre tread depth below 1.6mm and nearside front tyre damage or perishing. This specific failure on a previously passing test demonstrates that the car has not been adequately maintained since 2025, creating a gap in the record that must be addressed before the vehicle can be sold. The mileage accumulation rate is concerning, with the vehicle being approximately nine years old and having recorded over 5,305 miles per year. This high rate of mileage accumulation, combined with the specific faults found in the 2025 test, suggests that the owner has likely not taken steps to address wear on critical components like suspension bushings, coil springs, or brake discs. The pattern of passing tests followed by failures on similar mileage points indicates a lack of proactive care, where the car has been driven for years without the necessary servicing to prevent these specific structural or mechanical risks. A buyer should inspect the car in person to verify the condition of the 2025-03-04 failure at 43,955 miles, specifically checking the offside front tyre for cracks or perishing and the nearside front tyre for damage. Given the history of two separate failures on the rear tyres in 2023 and the same faults reported on the front in 2025, the car must be evaluated for structural integrity and mechanical wear on the suspension and drivetrain components. A thorough physical inspection is required to determine if the vehicle is still safe to drive or if it requires immediate professional repair before the owner can proceed with a sale.
