2021 Honda Civic Sport Vtec 1.5L Petrol · RF21 GZC

The 2021 Honda Civic Sport VTEC holds a current MOT, having passed on 25 July 2025 at 17,927 miles. The maintenance trend is stable but beginning to show early wear. The most recent test identified two minor advisories, both relating to slight play in the front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints, one nearside and one offside. These are not dangerous defects, but they mark a shift from the completely clean bill of health recorded the previous year. The presence of identical wear on both sides suggests the vehicle has endured consistent use over uneven surfaces rather than a single isolated impact. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle. At 17,927 miles recorded in July 2025, the annual average sits at roughly 3,585 miles. The jump from 14,735 miles in August 2024 to 17,927 miles by July 2025 accounts for 3,192 miles in under twelve months, which aligns closely with that average. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded data. The sparse but clean history between tests suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly, likely for short urban trips or extended periods of standing, which can sometimes lead to dried suspension bushes and surface corrosion rather than high-mileage mechanical wear. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension components. The advisories for slight play in both anti-roll bar linkage ball joints indicate these parts are beginning to wear. Check whether the links and bushes show any cracking, perishing, or movement beyond acceptable tolerance. Inspect the front struts, coil springs, and lower arm bushes for similar deterioration, as these components share the same workload and age. Given the low mileage and potential for short journeys, also assess the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or binding, as infrequent use can cause pads to stick and discs to score unevenly. Examine the underside for any signs of structural rust, particularly around suspension mounting points and subframes, as a vehicle standing for long periods can develop moisture-related corrosion even with minimal road use.
