2010 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · WD10 CFX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 12, 2026 at 115,569 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent failure occurred just one day prior due to multiple critical defects including a discoloured windscreen, failed indicators, a damaged mirror, and an impaired speedometer. While these issues were rectified quickly, the frequency of failures suggests the owner only addresses mechanical and electrical faults when compelled by the MOT tester. The mileage profile remains consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 11,743 miles between January 2024 and April 2025, followed by another 14,747 miles covered before the most recent test. The failure of the nearside front shock absorber in April 2025 at 110,561 miles indicates that despite the low annual mileage, suspension components are reaching the end of their structural service life due to age. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension assembly, as the record previously flagged the offside front anti-roll bar linkage and the nearside front shock absorber. The recent failure of the speedometer and indicators warrants a thorough electrical check of the wiring and bulb clusters to ensure no intermittent faults remain. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection of the chassis for corrosion on the mounting points and exhaust system is also essential, as these areas were not highlighted in the recent records but are common failure points for this generation of Civic.
