2010 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · ND10 YPY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred component replacement as the car ages. The most recent test conducted in February 2024 at 126,257 miles identified multiple advisories related to the braking and suspension systems. While the car passed, the presence of pitting and scoring across all four brake discs, combined with reduced damping in the two rear shock absorbers, indicates that mechanical components are now reaching the end of their functional life and require proactive attention. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between the July 2021 test at 109,656 miles and the February 2024 test at 126,257 miles, representing an accumulation of over 16,000 miles in two years. This suggests a steady usage pattern, though the long interval between tests in the later years of the vehicle may have contributed to the gradual degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces seen in the latest entries. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking assembly. The history shows deteriorated suspension arm bushes in 2018 and failing shock absorbers in 2024, so the buyer should check for excessive play or fluid leaks. The pitting and scoring on the brake discs suggest long periods of inactivity or high environmental corrosion, which can lead to poor braking performance if not replaced. Additionally, the previous failure for structural tyre damage in 2018 highlights the need to inspect the current sidewalls for bulges or cracks.
