2010 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · RO60 VWF

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a slight decline in preventative maintenance standards. While the car achieved three clean passes between 2022 and 2025, the March 2026 test at 110,912 miles flagged two defects related to headlamp clarity and front tyre wear. The presence of outer edge tyre wear suggests that the previous owner has neglected basic consumable upkeep after years of clean records. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle of sixteen years, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of 2,131 miles between August 2022 and February 2023, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 7,565 miles in the year leading up to the 2024 test. This steady usage generally reduces the stress on the drivetrain, though the long periods of lower mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based suspension components and seals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the reported outer edge wear on the front tyres often points to an alignment issue, worn ball joints, or failing damper bushes. The tester also noted a product on the headlamp lenses, which should be checked for surface oxidation or pitting that could impair night visibility. Given the age of the vehicle, a visual check of the chassis sills and wheel arches for structural corrosion is essential, as the MOT history has not yet flagged any structural integrity issues for this specific Honda.
