2021 Honda Civic SR Vtec 1.0L Petrol · PO71 YVC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on August 3 2025 at 22,785 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory after a mechanical failure just two months prior. While the June 2025 test identified specific safety and wear issues, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicates that the owner addressed the flagged faults to bring the car back to legal standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 6,771 miles between the August 2024 test at 16,014 miles and the June 2025 test at 22,777 miles. This rate of use suggests the car was likely used for short urban trips, though low mileage can sometimes lead to flat-spotting rubber components or surface corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the braking system, as the June 2025 failure flagged thin front brake pads. Although these were likely replaced, a buyer should check the remaining pads for uneven wear or glazing and ensure the calipers are not binding. The missing rear seat belt buckles from the 2025 failure must also be verified to ensure the correct hardware is present and functioning securely. Given the low mileage, checking the tyres for age-related cracking on the sidewalls is advisable, as the rubber may degrade faster than the tread depth.
