2010 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · FG60 EYP

The 2010 Honda Civic presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 2 October 2025 at 110,517 miles. The absence of any recorded defects in the latest test indicates the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards at that time. While the DVSA record contains duplicate entries for 2023 and 2024 showing both a pass and fail on identical dates and mileages, likely a data entry anomaly where a retest was logged incorrectly, the underlying mechanical history remains unblemished by actual flagged faults. This suggests a baseline of consistent care rather than a pattern of neglect. The vehicle's recorded mileage of 110,517 miles over sixteen years equates to roughly 6,907 miles annually, a typical figure for a car of this age. Between the September 2024 test at 101,434 miles and the October 2025 test at 110,517 miles, the Civic covered 9,083 miles, reflecting a slightly higher usage rate over that twelve-month period. However, the odometer has recorded zero miles since the October 2025 MOT, a gap of nine months relative to today's date. This prolonged stationary period warrants attention, as vehicles left standing for extended durations can suffer from flat-spotted tyres, brake disc corrosion, and stale fuel issues. Given the clean MOT history, there are no recurring mechanical failures to target, but a pre-purchase inspection should focus on the inherent risks of a sixteen-year-old vehicle that has recently stood idle. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and verify the calipers are not binding, a common issue when a car sits unused. Inspect the tyres for flat-spotting or perished sidewalls, and assess the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration typical of this mileage. The structural integrity of the underbody should be scrutinised for corrosion, paying close attention to the sills and subframes, as older Civics can be susceptible to rust in these areas.
