2017 Honda Civic 2.0L Petrol · LL67 RRO

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent record of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection on 20 November 2025 at 42,488 miles showed no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components have remained within DVSA tolerances without the recurring failures often seen in higher-mileage vehicles. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old car, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 25,397 miles and November 2024 at 37,791 miles, the car covered 12,392 miles, suggesting light annual use. The subsequent interval of 4,697 miles leading to the 2025 test confirms this consistent usage pattern. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the long periods of potential inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or fluid stagnation. Since the MOT history shows no flagged advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-use conditions. You should check the suspension bushes, brake lines, and tyres for signs of cracking or dry rot resulting from sitting stationary. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur when vehicles are not driven frequently. The overall structural integrity of the chassis appears sound based on the records, but a visual check for early underbody corrosion remains a standard practice for a vehicle of this age.
