2022 Honda Civic 1.0L Petrol · LD22 FNO

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a test on 13 March 2026 at 38,144 miles, though the maintenance trend indicates a worsening neglect of basic consumables. The tester initially recorded a failure due to an insufficient front windscreen washer fluid supply, which is a minor oversight. While the vehicle ultimately passed after this was addressed, the accompanying advisories highlight a clear deterioration in rubber components that requires immediate attention before purchase. At four years old, the recorded mileage of 38,144 miles represents an average annual usage of approximately 9,500 miles, aligning with typical mixed driving patterns. The distance covered between the March 2025 test at 37,024 miles and the March 2026 test shows a modest increase of just over 1,100 miles. This low annual accumulation suggests the car has seen light use recently, making the advanced state of tyre degradation somewhat disproportionate to the distance travelled. A prospective buyer must prioritise a close physical inspection of all four tyres. The March 2026 report explicitly flags the nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit, exhibiting edge wear and severe perishing. The nearside rear tyre also displays cracking and perishing. This pattern of rubber degradation, which escalated from a minor nearside front advisory in March 2025 to widespread perishing across multiple wheels a year later, strongly implies the vehicle has been left standing for extended periods without movement or proper tyre inflation. You should verify the tyre manufacture dates and check the wheel alignment, as the noted edge wear points to potential suspension geometry issues or chronic underinflation. Ensure the windscreen washer system is fully functional, as neglect of such basic fluids often correlates with overlooked routine servicing.
