2012 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · LD62 WRT

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent test in March 2026 at 117,487 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced advisories regarding nearside and offside front tyres being close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. Previous tests showed clean passes with no recorded defects, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters during annual inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 74,081 miles and March 2026 at 117,487 miles, the car covered over 43,000 miles, indicating steady annual use rather than sporadic mileage. This regularity helps prevent the vehicle from sitting for long periods, which is often beneficial for keeping seals, gaskets, and brake components free from premature corrosion or seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front axle condition noted in the March 2026 MOT. The fact that both front tyres are worn on the edge indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that could accelerate further tyre degradation. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a thorough check of the underside for structural corrosion and exhaust integrity is also prudent, although the MOT history has not yet flagged any failures. Testing the braking system for binding calipers is advisable to ensure the cause of uneven tyre wear observed in the latest test is addressed.
