2006 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · KB06 AEV

The 2006 Honda Civic is presently roadworthy following the 13 October 2023 MOT at 114,017 miles, which recorded a failure with no defects listed. The earlier November 2021 test at 97,441 miles and the November 2022 test at 103,598 miles both passed without defects, indicating a stable maintenance record and a gradual increase of roughly 6,000 miles per year. At an average annual mileage of about 5,700 miles, the car's usage is low for a 20‑year‑old vehicle, suggesting it may have been stored for periods; the mileage progression from 2021 to 2023 shows a steady rise without any long gaps in the record. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for wear or leakage, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven surface, and check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, as these areas commonly develop issues over high mileage despite the clean defect record. The recent failure, though defect‑free on paper, signals that a detailed on‑site evaluation of the braking system, suspension integrity and any hidden corrosion is advisable before committing to purchase.
