2022 Honda Civic 1.0L Petrol · LD22 FMX

This vehicle passed its most recent MOT in March 2026, but only after an initial failure due to critically worn front and rear brake pads. There is a clear and recurring pattern of neglecting consumable items. In March 2025, the car failed on multiple counts, including worn tyres, a defective wiper blade, and brake pads and discs that were already wearing thin. The fact that the brakes were again a failure point in 2026 suggests a reactive approach to maintenance, where parts are only replaced once they become a legal safety risk. The mileage is high for a four-year-old car, averaging nearly 14,000 miles per year. This level of use explains the accelerated wear on the braking system and tyres, but it also implies increased stress on the suspension and drivetrain components compared to a lower-mileage example. The overall condition trend is stable but concerning, as the owner appears to rely on the MOT test to identify necessary repairs rather than performing preventative maintenance. A buyer should first inspect the current depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake discs to ensure they were replaced with quality parts. You should also carefully review the full service history to see if oil changes and other vital maintenance were carried out on schedule, or if the vehicle has been neglected similarly to its brakes and tyres.
