2012 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · SC06 ULL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent test on 7 April 2026 at 104,319 miles resulted in a failure due to a missing wheel nut on the offside front wheel. While this defect was rectified immediately to secure a pass, it indicates a lapse in basic pre-trip safety checks. Beyond this isolated incident, the vehicle maintained a stable status with no mechanical failures recorded in the previous three annual inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,450 miles per year. Between April 2023 and April 2024, the car covered 3,352 miles, followed by another 3,054 miles in the year leading up to the most recent test. This low annual usage suggests the car is likely used for short trips or sits intermittently, which reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples of the same age. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyre condition, as the record flags perishing and cracking in both 2023 and 2025. These advisories suggest the rubber is hardening due to age rather than tread depth, meaning a full set of tyres may be required regardless of remaining life. Inspect the sidewalls for structural cracking. Given the age of the Honda Civic and the low annual mileage, an-person inspection must also check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust if not driven frequently enough to keep components dry.
