2012 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · LR62 KDX

The 2025‑09‑17 test records a pass with no mechanical defects, yet the same date shows a failure for an obviously incorrect near‑side front headlamp aim, meaning the vehicle is not fully roadworthy at present. Maintenance has remained relatively stable, with the majority of recent tests showing only minor non‑structural faults. The mileage has risen from 23,164 miles in September 2015 to 94,137 miles in September 2025, a gain of roughly 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a 14‑year‑old Civic. The increase from 86,100 miles in 2024 to 94,137 miles in 2025 represents an 8,000‑mile jump in a single year, higher than the average annual mileage and suggesting a period of more intensive use. A buyer should therefore focus on the recurring headlamp aim defect, which often stems from worn suspension bushes or mis‑aligned suspension components, and inspect the rear brake discs, pads and calipers for binding or excessive wear as indicated by multiple 2022‑2023 failures. The history also records worn front and rear tyres, a bulging near‑side front tyre, slight handbrake travel and a damaged off‑side front seal, so the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, tyre tread and structural integrity should be examined closely. Overall, the vehicle displays a stable maintenance pattern with only minor consumable wear, but the repeated mechanical faults indicate potential underlying suspension or brake issues that require a detailed in‑person inspection before purchase.
