2018 Honda Civic 1.5L Petrol · LB67 AFE

This vehicle presents a stable and positive roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 5 January 2026 at 74,896 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car is currently well-maintained and free of immediate mechanical faults. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It has covered approximately 9,362 miles per year over its eight-year lifespan. The distance between tests has remained steady, with a notable increase from 46,203 miles in January 2023 to 74,896 miles in January 2026. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or sudden spikes that would indicate periods of neglect or extreme commercial use. Earlier records reveal a period of lapsed maintenance on consumables. In January 2021 at 28,500 miles, the tester flagged three tyres worn close to the legal limit. A year later, on 10 January 2022 at 37,218 miles, the vehicle failed due to non-functional outline marker lamps and worn, pitted front brake discs and pads. These issues were resolved by the following day's pass, but the combination of worn tyres and braking components suggests a previous owner who reacted to failures rather than performing preemptive maintenance. A buyer should verify the current condition of the brake discs and pads to ensure they were replaced with quality parts after the 2022 failure. While the last four tests are clean, the history of pitted discs suggests a potential for corrosion if the car spent time in salty environments or sat idle. Checking the tyre tread depth and looking for uneven wear on the front axle will confirm if the alignment issues hinted at in 2021 were permanently corrected.
