2012 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · F23 PCC

The vehicle presents a stable and positive maintenance trend, evidenced by a clean MOT record over the last three consecutive years. The most recent test on 14 May 2026 at 95,999 miles returned no defects, following two previous years of clean passes in 2025 and 2024. This recent history suggests the vehicle is currently in a well-maintained state regarding its primary mechanical and safety components. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,857 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase in usage, moving from 55,279 miles in August 2021 to 95,999 miles in May 2026. This pattern indicates regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive heavy mileage. The absence of recorded defects between 2022 and 2026 implies that the owner has addressed any emerging issues before they reached a failing threshold. Earlier records show a pattern of minor consumable wear, particularly regarding tyres and minor suspension components. The tester flagged an anti-roll bar linkage ball joint with slight play in September 2020, and multiple instances of tyre sidewall cracking and tread wear between 2016 and 2021. While these issues were resolved, they highlight a tendency for the vehicle to require routine replacement of rubber components and minor suspension linkages. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and the integrity of the suspension system. Given the historical advisories for tyre cracking and sidewall damage, checking for perishing or uneven wear on the current set is necessary. Although the recent MOTs are clean, verifying the condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers would be prudent to ensure the vehicle remains free from the minor play noted in previous years.
