2010 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · FH10 FXJ

The vehicle currently presents in a state of roadworthiness, showing a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 September 2025 at 169,015 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that any previous mechanical issues have been addressed. While the history shows a pattern of failures in prior years, the clean sheets from the last two tests suggest the owner is proactive in rectifying faults to maintain DVSA compliance standards. At 169,015 miles over 16 years, the car averages approximately 10,563 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent use, with 12,701 miles driven between the September 2023 and October 2024 tests, another 12,698 miles covered between October 2024 and September 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which is often preferable for preventing internal engine corrosion and component degradation associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus inspection on the specific causes of the failures in 2023 and 2024, as the record provided does not detail the exact mechanical faults. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the structural integrity is essential, specifically examining the sills and rear wheel arches where Honda models of this era are prone to corrosion. Inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake caliper condition, as these components frequently reach the end of their service life beyond 150,000 miles regardless of MOT passes.
