2021 Honda Civic SR Vtec 1.0L Petrol · LO70 VFG

A consistent record of clean MOT results following a period of brake-related advisories defines the mechanical profile of this vehicle. While the February 2024 inspection flagged both front and rear brake discs as being worn, pitted, or scored, the subsequent tests in September 2025 and May 2026 returned with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the previously noted disc deterioration was addressed, resulting in a current status of passing with no outstanding mechanical concerns reported by the DVSA. The vehicle has covered 59,137 miles over its five-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 11,827 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical UK driving cycles and suggests a steady rate of wear on consumable components such as brake pads, tyres, and suspension bushes. Because the mileage has progressed at a regular pace without significant periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway running, the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and chassis should align with the expected age of a 2021 model. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the braking system during a test drive to ensure the issues noted in early 2024 have been fully resolved. While the most recent May 2026 test shows no defects, it is prudent to check for any signs of pedal judder or vibration when applying the brakes at various speeds, which can indicate uneven disc wear or warping. Additionally, listen for any unusual grinding noises or squealing during low-speed manoeuvres that might suggest uneven pad wear or binding calipers. Beyond the braking system, the steady mileage accumulation warrants a physical inspection of the suspension and steering components. Given the typical wear associated with nearly 60,000 miles, a test drive should include monitoring for any knocks or knocks from the suspension over uneven road surfaces, which may indicate worn bushes or dampers. Checking for any steering pull or uneven tyre wear will also help confirm that the front-end geometry remains within specification following the previous brake disc advisories.
