2016 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · R8 WLL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing MOT examinations. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 84,172 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2025 and 2023, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 58,844 miles and February 2026 at 84,172 miles, the car covered 25,328 miles, reflecting a steady usage rate. The jump of 8,901 miles between the February 2024 and February 2025 tests aligns with this trend. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to the seal-related issues associated with long periods of stationary deactivation. While the record is largely clean, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of components prone to wear at this mileage. Given the failed test on 1 February 2024 at 67,468 miles which was immediately rectified, it is prudent to verify that the specific cause of that failure has not resurfaced. Focus attention on the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, and check the brake discs for uneven wear or excessive corrosion, as these are common points of attention on a Honda Civic of this age and mileage.
