2022 Honda Civic 1.0L Petrol · LD22 FMU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, showing a maintenance trend that is improving following a specific mechanical failure. The most recent test on 25 March 2026 at 36,867 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding the nearside rear tyre. This follows a period where the previous year's defects were rectified, indicating that the owner addressed critical safety issues to bring the car back to compliance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. Between the March 2025 test and the March 2026 test, the car covered 3,278 miles, suggesting a period of relatively light use rather than high-distance commuting. This low annual mileage places less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to older rubber components compared to higher-mileage counterparts. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system during a physical inspection, as the 2025 failure at 33,589 miles revealed both front brake pads were worn below the 1.5mm legal limit. While these were replaced to achieve the subsequent pass, a check of the discs for uneven wear or scoring is advisable. Additionally, the 2026 advisory for cracking or perishing on the nearside rear tyre suggests the rubber may be reaching its age-related limit despite sufficient tread depth, which will likely require replacement soon to prevent structural failure.
