2015 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · FN65 SZY

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward minor mechanical wear-related issues. The most recent test in November 2025 at 47,508 miles flagged deteriorated both the nearside and offside front track rod end ball joint dust covers. While these did not result in a failure, they indicate the beginning of rubber degradation in the steering geometry. This contrasts with the perfectly clean record seen in the November 2024 test. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage over the years, moving from 22,337 miles in July 2021 to 47,508 miles by late 2025. This low annual mileage suggests limited mechanical strain on the engine and drivetrain components, but long periods of inactivity often lead to the dry rot in rubber components and surface corrosion, which aligns with the findings on the brake hose previously. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly to ensure the damaged track rod ends have been replaced before they cause failure of the ball joints. The 2023 test noted thin rear brake pads at 35,825 miles, and the 2022 test highlighted corrosion on a brake hose ferrule, necessitating a physical check of the current pad thickness and the integrity of all hydraulic lines. Given the age and low mileage, checking for chassis corrosion and perished rubber bushings is essential, as these areas often affect vehicles that sit for extended periods.
