2018 Honda Civic 2.0L Petrol · JH04 OSK

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend across recent years. The most recent test in March 2026 at 30,973 miles identified only a minor defect regarding a defective nearside front wiper blade. This represents a significant improvement over the 2024 inspection, which flagged mechanical wear items, suggesting that the owner has addressed necessary service requirements as they were identified by the tester. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,872 miles per year. Data shows consistent but infrequent usage patterns, moving from 17,809 miles in February 2022 to 30,973 miles in March 2026. This low mileage typically indicates less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as rubber-part degradation or fluid breakdown if the car is not driven regularly at motorway. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front braking system, as the March 2024 test at 21,099 miles recorded both thin pads and worn discs. While the vehicle passed the subsequent 2025 and 2026 tests without brake defects, it is vital to verify that these components were actually replaced rather than merely monitored. Additionally, the cut on the nearside front tyre noted in 2022 suggests a need to check the current sidewall integrity to ensure no structural damage has occurred over the intervening low-mileage years.
