2018 Honda Civic 1.0L Petrol · FX12 LCX

The May 2025 MOT at 33,418 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the 2018 Honda Civic remains fully roadworthy and that the maintenance record is stable, with no evidence of worsening or improving issues since the previous May 2024 test. The mileage trajectory shows a consistent annual increase of roughly 7,600–8,000 miles, from 11,232 miles in May 2022 to 33,418 miles in May 2025, translating to about 4,200 miles per year for an eight‑year‑old vehicle; the regular intervals and absence of long stationary periods suggest the car has been used steadily rather than left idle for extended intervals. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, verify that the brake discs and calipers show no binding or excessive wear, examine the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust or corrosion, check tyre tread depth and even wear patterns, and confirm that the exhaust system meets emission standards, as these components are the most likely to reveal hidden deterioration despite the clean MOT history.
