2022 Honda Civic 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · PO72 KYB

A clean MOT history to date, with a single pass on 8 October 2025 and no recorded defects, indicates that the vehicle has not triggered any mandatory safety or emissions failures under the DVSA inspection regime. The absence of advisories or failures across the recorded testing period suggests that, at least at the time of that test, all inspected systems met the statutory minimum standards. At roughly 31,300 miles after just under four years of age, the average annual accumulation sits around 7,800 miles, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a family hatchback of this class. The mileage progression appears linear, with no large jumps that would hint at periods of intensive use or prolonged storage; consequently, wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and clutch components is likely to be proportionate to normal service intervals rather than accelerated by high‑stress operation. Even though the MOT record shows no failures, a prudent pre‑purchase inspection should still verify the condition of the suspension and steering linkages, as wear can develop between tests. During a low‑speed drive, listen for any clunking or knocking over bumps that could point to deteriorating bushings or worn ball joints, and feel for any steering wheel vibration or pull that might reveal subtle alignment or bearing issues. Examine the brake pedal for consistent travel and firm feel; any sponginess or pulsation under moderate braking could indicate pad wear, disc glazing, or fluid condition that the MOT did not capture. Finally, confirm the state of the tyres for tread depth and uniform wear, and inspect the exhaust system for any visible cracks, rust spots or abnormal noises that could signal hidden corrosion. A visual check of the battery terminals for corrosion and a quick engine idle observation for excessive smoke or roughness will round out the assessment, ensuring that the vehicle’s mechanical health aligns with the clean MOT outcome before final commitment.
