2006 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · NG06 BSZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 30 December 2025 at 144,086 miles, showing a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This represents a significant improvement in maintenance standards compared to the 2024 test, where the vehicle accumulated a substantial list of mechanical advisories. The transition from multiple failure points and long advisory lists to a clean certificate suggests that the previous owner addressed the outstanding repairs, effectively stabilizing the vehicle's roadworthiness after a period of neglect. With a total of 144,086 miles over two decades, the Honda averages approximately 7,200 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation has remained consistent, with roughly 6,400 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests. There are no concerning gaps in the testing history, indicating that the car has remained in regular use rather than suffering from prolonged periods of inactivity that often lead to seized components or perished seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the areas previously flagged as recurring issues. The exhaust system, specifically the rear mountings and heat shields, appeared as a persistent fault from 2022 through 2024, so verify that these components are now securely fitted and free from corrosion. Given the history of play in the steering rack inner joints and suspension ball joints noted in late 2024, check for any knocking noises or vagueness in the steering during a test drive. Finally, inspect the rear brake discs and pads for signs of scoring or thinning, as these were identified as worn during the 2024 inspection and should be confirmed as replaced to ensure reliable braking performance.
