2012 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · RV62 GPY

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy state, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 with 55,930 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following a period of minor failures in 2023. While the car previously struggled with consumable-related failures, the latest clean sheet indicates that the current owner has addressed outstanding issues and maintained the vehicle to a passing standard. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 55,930 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with intervals of roughly 4,000 to 4,500 miles between the annual tests from 2022 to 2025. This low mileage suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine compared to average examples, though long periods of low use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals which are not fully captured by the MOT test. A buyer should focus physical inspection on the front end, as the history shows a recurring issue with tyre wear and condition. The 2023 and 2024 tests flagged the offside and nearside front tyres as being worn to the legal limit with cracking and edge wear, which often indicates a wheel alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Checking the condition of the front suspension and ball joints is essential to ensure that the uneven wear was not caused by a developing mechanical fault. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, a thorough check for structural integrity and corrosion on the sills and chassis is necessary. Although the MOT record does not flag any rust, low-mileage cars are prone to brake corrosion if they sit stationary. Verify that the washer system functions correctly as this was a point of failure in 2023, and ensure the brake discs are free of heavy pitting or rust resulting from periods of disuse.
