2012 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · LB12 RGZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 88,701 miles. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, showing a three-year period of zero recorded defects between 2022 and 2024. The most recent test identified only minor consumable-related issues, suggesting the vehicle has been generally maintained rather than suffering from systemic mechanical or structural failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between January 2025 and January 2026, where the car covered over 14,000 miles in a single year. This spike in mileage explains the transition from a clean record to the appearance of advisories regarding the nearside front tyre, as increased use naturally accelerates the wear of rubber components. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front tyre, as the tester flagged uneven wear which may indicate an alignment issue. The inoperative offside registration plate lamp is a simple electrical fix but should be addressed to ensure full compliance. Given the lack of advisories regarding brake components, suspension bushes, or corrosion in previous years, the structural integrity appears to have been well-preserved, though a physical check of the underside for surface rust remains standard practice for a Honda of this age.
