2012 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · WV62 ONH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 January 2026 at 112,336 miles. While the record shows immediate failures on the same date in both 2025 and 2026, the lack of recorded defects suggests these minor issues were rectified instantly before the retest. The absence of advisories across the last three years indicates a vehicle that currently meets minimum safety standards without obvious signs of escalating mechanical degradation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a car of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum over its fourteen-year life. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered 10,795 miles, followed by another 8,698 miles in the year leading up to the January 2026 test. This steady rate of use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from the detrimental effects of long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the rubber seals, hoses, and braking components to prevent premature corrosion-related seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that typically wear at this mileage threshold despite the clean MOT history. While the record does not flag recurring faults, a manual check of the suspension arm bushes and coil springs is necessary to ensure no perished rubber has developed. The buyer should also examine the brake discs for uneven wear and inspect the underbody for early signs of structural corrosion, as the MOT test only identifies rust once it reaches a specific threshold of structural compromise.
