2012 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · NG12 OLK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 22 May 2026 at 95,703 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable profile following a period of clean records, though the 2025 test highlighted emerging corrosion concerns. The latest advisory identified only a minor sidewall injury to the offside front outer tyre, which is a common consumable issue and does not indicate a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between May 2022 and May 2026, the car covered 9,821 miles, showing steady and predictable accumulation rather than erratic bursts of heavy use or long periods of neglect. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which often helps prevent internal engine components from seizing, though the age of the car means it remains susceptible to rubber-related degradation. A buyer must pay close attention to the results from 23 May 2025 test at 93,815 miles, where the tester flagged corrosion on all coil springs and the rear axle. While the vehicle passed despite these advisories, corrosion on suspension components is progressive and can lead to structural failure. An in-person inspection should focus on the spring coils to ensure no fractures or thinning has developed and to verify that the rear axle corrosion has not worsened since the last test. Checking the integrity of the mounting points for signs of bubbling rust is also essential given the recorded history of the chassis.
