2010 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · LO59 JNF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a worsening state regarding front-end components. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 134,003 miles passed, it revealed multiple advisories concerning suspension joints and steering linkage. These issues follow a significant failure in December 2024 where the car was flagged for critical brake wear and leaking shock absorbers. The persistence of play in the ball joints and dust covers suggests that the front suspension assembly is reaching the end of its life. The recorded mileage of 134,003 miles over 16 years represents an average usage of approximately 8,375 miles per year, which is consistent with a vehicle of this age. The data shows steady annual use, with roughly 7,000 miles driven between the December 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 7,500 miles leading into late 2025. This consistent mileage suggests the car has not sat, but the age-related degradation of rubber components and mechanical joints is clearly evident. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and steering system. The history highlights recurring issues with ball joints, track rod ends, and anti-roll bar linkages, which have progressed from damaged dust covers to mechanical play. The buyer should also verify the condition of the brakes, as the record shows thin pads and worn discs across 2022, 2024, and 2025. Given the fluid leak noted on the offside front shock in 2024, a thorough check of all four dampers is necessary to ensure the repair was completed.
