2022 Honda Civic Advance I-MMD CVT 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · LD72 AED

The most recent MOT test, conducted on 07 October 2025, resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Based on this recent test, the vehicle's maintenance trend appears stable and indicates that the car was in a high state of roadworthiness at the time of inspection. The absence of any noted issues regarding emissions, braking efficiency, or structural integrity suggests that the vehicle has not been subjected to significant mechanical neglect or harsh environmental conditions that typically trigger early MOT failures. The recorded mileage of 18,128 miles indicates an average annual usage of approximately 4,532 miles, which is considerably lower than the standard UK average for a vehicle of this age. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, CVT transmission, and suspension components, it also implies that the vehicle may have been subject to long periods of standing. Low-usage vehicles can sometimes experience different forms of degradation than high-mileage counterparts, particularly regarding components that require regular operation to maintain their integrity and prevent the buildup of deposits or corrosion. As the MOT record is clean and the mileage is low, your inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing, sidewall cracking, or flat-spotting, as rubber can degrade over time even if the tread depth remains high. You should also check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and ensure the calipers are not binding due to inactivity. Given the low usage, it is vital to verify the 12V battery health and confirm that time-based servicing has been performed. Even with low mileage, fluids such as brake fluid and engine oil should be changed according to the manufacturer's calendar-based intervals to prevent moisture contamination or chemical breakdown. During the test drive, listen for any suspension clunks or stiffness and ensure the hybrid system operates smoothly without any unexpected vibrations or warning indicators.
