2019 Honda Civic 1.0L Petrol · FT19 VDA

The 2026‑04‑10 MOT at 30,090 miles passed, confirming the Honda Civic is presently roadworthy, though the front brake pads were recorded as wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)). The maintenance record shows a stable trend after the 2023 failures, with a clean 2025 test and a recent pass that only flags minor brake wear, indicating that recent corrective work has resolved earlier ABS and TPMS faults. The mileage progression is uneven: from 6,975 miles in June 2022 to 7,301 miles in June 2023 only 326 miles were added, but between April 2024 (7,721 miles) and April 2025 (20,296 miles) the vehicle accumulated over 12,500 miles, and then another 9,800 miles by April 2026, suggesting periods of low use followed by accelerated usage. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brake calipers for binding, examine the brake discs for scoring, and verify the operation of the ABS warning lamp and tyre pressure monitoring sensors, all of which were flagged in the 2023 test. Particular attention is also required to the condition of the under‑tray, body side sills and any rust on the chassis, as these areas were noted in the 2023 and 2024 records, and to the washer system to ensure adequate fluid delivery after the 2024 failure. Overall the vehicle meets the current MOT standard, but the history of ABS and TPMS faults, the thin front pads, and the rapid mileage increase after 2024 indicate that a thorough in‑person inspection of the braking, suspension and structural components is essential before purchase.
