2016 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · OW65 GKP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of consistent maintenance. The most recent inspection in February 2026 at 78,812 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory requirements without recorded defects. This follows a successful pass in early 2025 after a minor failure regarding the windscreen washer fluid supply, suggesting the previous owner was responsive to rectifying non-critical faults immediately. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. There is a recorded gap of 9,215 miles between the November 2023 and January 2025 tests, followed by another 2,569 miles covered in the year leading up to the February 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of seals and preventing the degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the offside rear brake assembly, as the January 2023 test at 58,590 miles flagged a pitted and scored disc. While this was cleared in subsequent tests, the buyer should verify that the component was replaced and that the caliper is not causing further uneven wear. Given the low annual mileage, a close check of the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking is advisable, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from age-related perish rather than mechanical wear.
