2016 Honda Civic 2.0L Petrol · FK02 DAD

The 2016 Honda Civic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 35,893 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or failures appear anywhere in the DVSA history, which indicates the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a ten-year-old car. The records show 17,594 miles at the 17 August 2021 test, rising to 21,370 by 18 August 2022, 26,857 by 23 August 2023, 32,144 by 23 August 2024, and 35,893 by 22 August 2025. That equates to roughly 3,600 miles added each year, or about 3,589 annually across the vehicle's life. The even yearly increments suggest consistent light use rather than long dormant periods, though standing time between tests cannot be ruled out from the data alone. A clean MOT sheet with no corrosion, suspension bush, brake disc, or exhaust emission flags points to a car that previous owners maintained to a basic standard. The absence of recurring advisories means no worsening mechanical pattern exists in the official record. Low mileage such as this often masks aged rubber components and fluid degradation rather than wear from distance. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for age-related perishing not caught by MOT pass criteria. Check underneath for early structural rust and verify coolant, brake fluid, and timing chain condition given the car's low annual use since 2016. The test history justifies confidence, but it does not substitute for a physical appraisal of consumables aged by time rather than mileage.
