2012 Honda Civic I-Dtec EX 2.2L Heavy oil · LB12 FBY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 23 January 2022 at 114,586 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This suggests the previous owner maintained the car to a high standard, as the tester found no mechanical failures or structural weaknesses requiring attention during that final inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,185 miles per year. Between July 2018 at 87,807 miles and August 2019 at 97,468 miles, the car covered roughly 9,600 miles in a year. The subsequent gap between the August 2019 test and January 2022 test shows an accumulation of 17,118 miles over thirty-nine months, indicating consistent use rather than long periods of standing stationary or excessive short-distance trips that often lead to carbon-related issues. While the digital record is clean of recurring faults, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components prone to wear at this age and mileage. Given the 114,586 mile reading, the suspension should be checked for perished rubber bushes and worn coil springs, as these often degrade after a decade of use. The brakes should be inspected for binding calipers or uneven thinning, as the MOT record does not detail the specific condition of these consumable components. Because the last recorded MOT is now over four years old as of July 2026, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle cannot be verified. A fresh inspection is mandatory to determine if the structural integrity of the chassis has suffered from corrosion or if the emissions remain within legal limits. Attention should also be paid to the tyre condition and exhaust system, which have not been officially monitored by the DVSA since the 2022 test.
