2017 Honda Civic 1.0L Petrol · OW17 WGD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 68,963 miles flagged an advisory for both rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This follows a clean record from 2024, suggesting that while the vehicle remains mechanically sound, consumable components are now reaching the end of their service life. The mileage remains consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per annum. Between September 2021 and September 2023, the car covered 22,860 miles, followed by a steady increase of 15,493 miles in the following two years leading to the 2025 test. This regular accumulation suggests the car has been used consistently rather than sitting stationary, which is generally beneficial for maintaining rubber components and suspension bushings compared to a vehicle that undergoes long-term storage. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during a physical inspection. The 2023 test at 53,670 miles identified all four brake pads as wearing thin, indicating that the previous owner waited until components were near failure before replacement. Given the recent advisory regarding uneven tyre wear on the rear, it is essential to check for uneven pad wear or sticking calipers that could be causing alignment issues. The edge wear on the rear tyres also necessitates a check of the suspension geometry and control arms to prevent premature wear on a new set of tyres.
