2022 Honda Civic 1.0L Petrol · LD22 FMA

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows a recent period of instability followed by a successful retest. While the April 2026 test at 50,072 miles resulted in a pass, the record shows a significant failure just weeks earlier in March 2026. The maintenance trend appears to be resolving after a period of neglected consumable upkeep, as the tester cleared the major braking and tyre defects that caused the previous failure. The vehicle has covered 50,072 miles in approximately four years, averaging roughly 12,518 miles annually. This represents relatively high usage for a 2022 model, which correlates with the wear patterns seen in the MOT history. The mileage accumulation between the March 2026 failure at 50,038 miles and the April 2026 pass at 50,072 miles is minimal, suggesting the recent repairs were likely addressed immediately following the failed inspection. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system. The March 2026 failure highlighted critical issues, including offside front brake pads measuring less than 1.5mm, nearside front disc corrosion, and a significant brake imbalance across the front axle. Although the April 2026 test passed, the advisory for thin rear brake pads indicates that the braking components are nearing the end of their service life. The history also reveals a recurring issue with tyre maintenance. The March 2026 failure for a nearside rear tyre below the 1.6mm legal limit follows a similar advisory for a worn tyre in the March 2025 test at 46,092 miles. This pattern suggests the previous owner may have been reactive rather than proactive regarding tyre replacement. A physical check of all four tyres and the remaining brake pad thickness is essential to avoid immediate replacement costs.
