2016 Honda Civic 1.6L Diesel · HJ66 PXK

The 2016 Honda Civic shows a history of consistent maintenance but reveals developing signs of wear in suspension and braking components. The most recent test in November 2025 at 102,629 miles indicates the vehicle passed despite multiple advisories that suggest proactive maintenance is now becoming necessary. Specifically, the tester noted pitting and scoring on both rear brake discs, along with perishing on the rear offside and nearside tyres. The presence of worn offside axle swivel pins and a worn front anti-roll bar linkage indicates that the suspension geometry is beginning to reach the end of its service life. With 102,629 miles recorded over ten years, the vehicle maintains an average of approximately 10,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a car of this age. The mileage progression shows regular annual testing, suggesting the owner has maintained basic legal compliance. However, the transition from minor advisories in earlier years to more structural-related wear in 2025 reflects the vehicle crossing the 100,000-mile threshold, marking a point where mechanical components like bushes and brake hardware typically require more frequent replacement. The recurring advisories regarding anti-roll bar linkages and axle swivel bushes suggest a trend of suspension rubber-part degradation. While these did not result in a failure, they are likely to lead to handling issues or uneven tyre wear if not addressed. A buyer should inspect the condition of the rear brake discs for deep corrosion and verify if the rear tyres have been replaced, as the cracking and perishing noted in the 2025 record represent a safety-related aging process.
