2017 Honda Civic 1.0L Petrol · SL67 FTD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 22 April 2026 at 72,842 miles with no recorded defects. However, the history shows a reactive rather than proactive maintenance trend. While the latest test indicates a clean bill, the preceding years reveal a pattern of addressing mechanical faults only after they fail inspection, suggesting the owner performs the minimum work required for legal compliance rather than scheduling preventative servicing between tests. At 72,842 miles over nine years, the Honda Civic averages approximately 8,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family car. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with a jump of 12,044 miles between April 2023 and April 2024, and another 9,368 miles between April 2024 and April 2025. This steady usage suggests the car does not sit stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of rubber seals and prevents braking components. A buyer should pay close attention to the front-end assembly due to recurring issues with brake pads and tyres. The 2024 test flagged thin brake pads, and the 2025 test resulted in a failure for pads being under 1.5mm thick, indicating a failure to monitor consumable wear during service intervals. Furthermore, the repeated mention of tyres worn on edges in both 2024 and 2025 suggests potential wheel alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. A physical inspection of the front suspension geometry and uneven tyre wear is necessary to ensure these underlying mechanical faults have not caused secondary damage to the drivetrain or steering..
