2010 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · OV10 TFU

The Honda Civic presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 14 August 2025 at 89,525 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A curious entry shows a fail logged on 14 August 2025 at 89,524 miles with no defects cited, immediately followed the same day by a clean pass at one mile more; this points to an administrative or documentation error at the testing station rather than a genuine mechanical defect. The recorded mileage sits low for a 2010 vehicle, totalling 89,525 miles or roughly 5,595 miles per year. From the August 2023 test at 81,883 miles, the car covered 3,813 miles to the August 2024 test at 85,696 miles, then 3,829 miles to the August 2025 test at 89,525 miles. The annual accumulation is consistent and modest, suggesting light use with no prolonged gaps or sudden high-mileage bursts. The DVSA record itself is sparse and clean, offering no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion across the period. Given the absence of any flagged wear or structural concerns, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of common age-related items not always caught in a pass. The 16-year-old chassis warrants close checks for structural rust at sills and subframes, while suspension components such as coil springs and arb bushes should be assessed for perishing from low-use standing. Brake discs and calipers may show surface corrosion or binding after light annual mileage, and tyre sidewalls deserve scrutiny for cracking from infrequent rotation. The twin fail-pass pairs in August 2024 and August 2025 with zero defects imply clerical anomalies rather than owner neglect. The low, steady mileage and clean sheets indicate a conservatively used car, though the lack of advisories means latent wear on consumables remains unquantified until a hands-on check is completed.
