2006 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · LS56 NNY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its consistent history of passes. The most recent test on 29 January 2026 at 69,196 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just two days prior at 69,191 miles. While the record does not specify the reason for that initial failure, the immediate rectification suggests a minor adjustment or consumable replacement that was addressed quickly before the re-test. The mileage pattern is characteristically low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,460 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 57,091 miles and December 2024 at 63,085 miles, the car covered only 5,994 miles over over two years. This low frequency of use often reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, though it increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading or brake components seizing due to long periods of static storage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, specifically looking for corrosion common in this era. Although the MOT records show no advisories for suspension bushes or brake components, the low mileage warrants a close check of perished tyres, split rubber seals, and seized calipers. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or rust, as vehicles that sit infrequently often develop oxidation on the metal surfaces.
