2015 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · FY65 HFR

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward addressing age-related wear. The most recent test in September 2025 at 47,488 miles identified issues with pitted rear brake discs and perishing rubber on both front tyres. While the car passed, the transition from a clean record in previous years to these specific defects suggests that components are beginning to degrade due to time and low usage rather than high-mile mechanical stress. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,317 miles per year. Data shows consistent, low-impact usage, moving from 25,714 miles in 2018 to 47,488 miles in 2025. This pattern often results in less wear on drivetrain and engine components, but it frequently leads to the deterioration of materials. The cracking and perishing noted in the 2025 tyres are a direct consequence of a vehicle that likely sits for extended periods between journeys. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the braking system and rubber-based components. The 2022 test flagged thin front brake pads, and the 2025 test noted scored rear discs, indicating the braking assembly is reaching a stage requiring comprehensive attention. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes, as these rubber parts often fail through oxidation when not regularly exercised. The perishing front tyres also require immediate replacement to ensure structural integrity and safety.
