2010 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · SL60 CGZ

The 2010 Honda Civic presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at 116,952 miles on 5 August 2025 with zero defects or advisories. The vehicle has consistently passed its MOTs without any mechanical or structural faults recorded, indicating a baseline of acceptable upkeep. However, the record contains anomalies; the car failed its tests on 10 October 2023 and 10 September 2024, yet both failures list no defects. This pattern typically indicates the vehicle was withdrawn from the test rather than failing on a specific mechanical item, possibly due to a dangerous part identified during the inspection or an incomplete test. The mileage accumulation is highly consistent, reflecting typical annual usage. Between the October 2023 test at 100,093 miles and the September 2024 test at 108,759 miles, the car covered 8,666 miles over an eleven-month period. The subsequent year saw the mileage rise to 116,952 miles by August 2025, adding 8,193 miles. This equates to roughly 8,200 miles per year, aligning closely with the provided context of 7,310 miles per annum. Notably, the recorded mileage has not advanced since the August 2025 test, and the vehicle is now eleven months out of its current MOT cycle. Given the absence of recurring mechanical advisories, the buyer must rely on a physical inspection of standard wear components typical for a sixteen-year-old Civic. Focus on the structural integrity of the undercarriage, specifically inspecting the sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points for corrosion. Examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and check the brake discs and pads for wear. The tyre tread depth and date codes require verification, as does the operation of the exhaust system. The unexplained test failures with no recorded defects warrant a close visual inspection for signs of accident damage or substandard body repairs that might have prompted the previous owner to abandon the tests.
