2006 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · GSZ 4017

The vehicle shows an improving trend in its MOT compliance, moving from failures in 2022 and 2023 to clean passes in the two most recent tests. The July 2024 test at 141,343 miles recorded no defects, following a clean pass in August 2023. While the record shows two instances of failure in the last three years, the absence of advisories in the 2023 and 2024 results suggests that any previously identified issues were rectified. The recorded mileage of 141,343 miles over a 20-year lifespan averages approximately 7,067 miles per year. This represents typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data provided does not show evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or significant periods of inactivity between the documented test dates. The MOT history is notably sparse regarding specific mechanical details, as the failure entries for July 2022 and August 2023 do not list the specific reasons for the failures. This lack of transparency in the digital record means a buyer cannot verify if the failures related to consumables like tyres and brake pads or more significant issues such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust corrosion. Given the age of the vehicle and the previous failures, a physical inspection should focus on structural integrity, specifically checking for underside corrosion. A thorough check of the braking system for binding calipers and an assessment of the suspension components for wear is necessary, as these are common areas for failure on older vehicles that have not been explicitly detailed in this MOT history. buying_score: 68 risk_level: Low.
