2006 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · WG56 PBU

The vehicle achieved a pass certificate on 23 July 2025 at 102,172 miles following a same-day failure for lighting defects and headlamp aim misalignment. Maintenance standards appear to be slipping, as the record shifted from a clean test in August 2023 to multiple advisories in 2024 and 2025. The July 2025 test highlighted a noisy nearside front wheel bearing and significant tyre wear on both front inner edges, suggesting recent upkeep has been reactive rather than preventative. Usage remains consistent with the vehicle's low average of approximately 5,100 miles per year. The odometer increased by 4,639 miles between the August 2024 and July 2025 inspections, indicating regular but light use. With the current date in June 2026, the MOT expiry is imminent, requiring immediate renewal by the new owner. The mileage progression is stable and shows no evidence of clocking or erratic driving patterns. Recurring tyre advisories dating back to 2022 point to a persistent wheel alignment issue, specifically causing wear on the inner edges. A pre-purchase inspection must verify the geometry tracking and check the nearside front wheel bearing for play, as the tester flagged it as slightly noisy last year. The exhaust system also warrants a close examination, given the minor leak and defective mounting noted in August 2024. Buyers should budget for immediate replacement of the front tyres due to their proximity to the legal limit.
