2010 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · FN60 YVU

The 2010 Honda Civic presents a history of failed tests involving safety-critical components. The most recent MOT was in August 2025, which is nearly a year old given the current date. In August 2025, the vehicle initially failed its test due to a serious defect: an insecure backing plate on the offside rear brake. This item was clearly repaired to allow the car to pass. However, the headlamp lenses were noted as slightly defective on both the pass and fail certificates, serving as advisories regarding their condition. A similar pattern occurred in August 2023, where the car suffered a failed test. The defects recorded then were a serious fluid leak on the offside front shock absorber and a damaged dust cover on the nearside track rod end ball joint. These issues highlight wear in the suspension and steering systems. The trend suggests the vehicle is stable enough to pass after repairs, but it is prone to developing faults in key areas like brakes and suspension. With roughly 120,475 miles, the mileage is typical for its age and supports the likelihood of natural wear on these consumable parts.
