2010 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · NL10 NPD

This 2010 Honda Civic presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes since September 2023. The most recent test on 6 September 2025 at 133,137 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 5 September 2024 and 5 September 2025, these failures were resolved within 24 hours. The lack of recorded defects in the pass certificates suggests these were minor issues quickly rectified to meet minimum legal standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age. It has covered approximately 6,632 miles between September 2024 and September 2025, and 5,130 miles between September 2023 and September 2024. This steady accumulation indicates the car is in regular use rather than sitting idle, which generally helps maintain seals and battery health. The absence of advisories across the last three years is unusual for a sixteen year old vehicle. There are no mentions of corrosion, worn suspension bushes, or thinning brake discs in the provided data. This suggests either a rigorous preventative maintenance regime by the previous owner or a very lenient testing history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT record does not explicitly detail. Check for structural rust on the sills and chassis, as these are common failure points for this era of Civic. Verify the condition of the clutch and gearbox operation, as the MOT test does not assess mechanical wear unless it causes a direct safety failure. Inspect the tyre treads and brake pad thickness to ensure consumables are not nearing the end of their life, as the clean record provides no data on current wear levels.
