2016 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · LM16 BVB

The 2026‑04‑14 MOT at 93,450 miles confirms the 2016 Honda Civic is currently roadworthy, having passed with only tyre‑wear defects noted. The vehicle has passed the three preceding tests, indicating that the issues raised in the 2023 failure were corrected and that maintenance has remained stable since then. Mileage has risen steadily from 54,283 miles in March 2020 to 93,450 miles in April 2026, an average increase of roughly 5,000 miles per year, consistent with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old vehicle and with annual MOT intervals. No large gaps in the record are evident, and the incremental mileage aligns with the age of the car. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension, as the under‑tray fitters in the 2024 and 2026 tests conceal steering and suspension components, making inspection of bushes, coil springs and mounting points essential; brake condition must be verified, given repeated reports of pitted or scored discs and near‑minimum pad thickness; tyre wear on the inner edges of both front tyres suggests possible alignment or suspension issues that should be examined; headlamp performance and beam intensity, which have been flagged for reduced intensity and aim, also merit close checking. Overall, the vehicle shows a pattern of regular maintenance with corrective actions taken after the 2023 failure, but recurring tyre edge wear and brake wear indicate that previous owners may have allowed consumable items to exceed recommended limits, so a thorough in‑person inspection of the highlighted components is advisable before purchase.
