2012 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · SP12 YNT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on November 3 2025 at 94,640 miles with no recorded defects. The history shows a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by passes within a single mile, suggesting that the owner is proactive in rectifying any minor issues flagged by the tester immediately. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three tests indicates that the vehicle is currently maintained in a clean mechanical condition without the signs of progressive deterioration often seen in Hondas of this age. At 14 years old, the recorded 94,640 miles represents an average annual usage of approximately 6,760 miles, which aligns with typical low-use patterns for a hatchback. The data shows a significant period of activity between August 2023 and June 2024, where the car covered over 4,000 miles in just ten months. However, the gap between June 2024 and October 2025 shows much longer intervals. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, stationary periods can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid quality despite the low odometer reading. Since the MOT record shows no specific structural or recurring mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on age-related wear that standard testing might not catch. A buyer should check for corrosion on the rear sills and suspension arches, as these areas are prone to rust regardless of mileage. Given the low usage, inspecting the condition of the brake discs for pitting and the suspension bushings is essential to ensure they have not perished from lack of use. The clean history suggests the vehicle has been well-looked after, but the age of the components remains the primary factor for potential future maintenance.
