2017 Honda Civic 1.0L Petrol · LE17 EBZ

A history of consistent roadworthiness was interrupted in August 2026 by major failures relating to the anti-lock braking system and electronic stability control warning lamps. Although these faults were rectified to secure a pass on 4 September 2026, their appearance represents a departure from a previously clean record. Current advisories for thin front brake pads and an outer edge worn offside front tyre indicate that several key consumables are now nearing the end of their operational life. With 77,691 miles recorded over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged around 8,632 miles annually. This steady accumulation of mileage is typical for its age and suggests a consistent usage pattern, meaning wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and engine components is likely to be proportional to its age rather than the result of excessive heavy-duty use or the degradation associated with long periods of standing. The recent failure of the ABS and ESC systems necessitates a thorough check of the dashboard instrumentation during a test drive to ensure no warning lamps illuminate after the engine starts or during active cornering and braking. The buyer should evaluate the brake pedal for any unusual softness or pulsation, as the front brake pads are officially recorded as wearing thin and will require imminent replacement. Attention should be paid to the offside front tyre, which is noted for outer edge wear; this specific wear pattern can be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment. During the test drive, monitor for any steering pull or a lack of centering when travelling in a straight line. Additionally, the nearside rear reflector remains a recorded minor defect that will require replacement to resolve the outstanding deficiency.
