2019 Honda Civic 1.5L Petrol · VE68 RWK

Recurring tyre wear and minor consumable issues define the mechanical history of this vehicle, though the most recent test on 16 December 2025 shows a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. The record indicates a pattern of tyre-related advisories, specifically regarding edge wear and perishing, which appeared intermittently between 2021 and 2024. A single failure occurred in December 2023 due to insufficient windscreen washer fluid, but the subsequent two tests have been clear of any flagged issues, suggesting a recent period of stability in the vehicle's roadworthiness. The vehicle has covered 72,947 miles over its seven-year lifespan, averaging approximately 10,421 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent with typical UK driving profiles for a vehicle of this age. This steady accumulation of mileage suggests the components have been subjected to regular, predictable wear rather than the potential issues associated with long periods of inactivity or extreme high-speed motorway use. Mechanically, this level of usage typically results in expected wear on consumables such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes, which should be assessed alongside the recorded history. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyre history, as multiple advisories for edge wear and perishing were noted in previous years. While the latest MOT is clear, the history of uneven wear on the nearside and offside rear tyres may indicate previous issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. During a test drive, it is essential to check for any steering pull or unevenness in the steering feel, and to visually inspect the current tread patterns on all four tyres to ensure they are not wearing unevenly across the profile. Furthermore, the 2022 advisory regarding damaged or frayed webbing on the rear seat belts should be physically inspected to ensure they meet current safety standards and operate smoothly without snagging. Although the 2023 failure for washer fluid was a minor functional issue, it is worth verifying that the washer system provides adequate pressure and coverage across the windscreen. Given the history of tyre-related advisories, a thorough inspection of the suspension components, such as the shock absorbers and bushings, is advisable to ensure there are no knocks or vibrations being transmitted through the chassis.
