2012 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · OV62 KZW

The 2012 Honda Civic presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 15 December 2025 at 102,324 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, and no advisories appear on any entry from 2022 onwards, indicating the vehicle has not accumulated recurring mechanical or structural concerns in the official record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,300 miles per year against a 14-year lifespan, which is typical for the age. The records show a steady climb: 48,676 miles in October 2022, 60,783 in November 2023, 78,743 in November 2024, then a jump to 101,860 by December 2025. That final year added over 23,000 miles, well above the prior pattern, before the pass at 102,324. The sparse, clean test outcomes give little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A failed test on 8 December 2025 at 101,860 miles with no defects listed is anomalous; the tester issued no fault codes yet the vehicle did not pass until a retest one week later. This suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect, but a buyer should confirm the failure reason from the DVSA portal before purchase. Given the absence of flagged wear on brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or corrosion, the in-person check should still cover those items as routine due diligence on a 102k-mile Civic. Inspect underbody structural integrity, exhaust emissions under load, and tyre condition, since none were formally recorded as advisories across the lifespan.
