2010 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · YA10 DHL

This 2010 Honda Civic presents an exceptionally stable maintenance profile. The most recent MOT on 7 April 2025 at 99,536 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to January 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy state without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a sixteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,221 miles per year. Usage patterns show a notable increase in activity over the last few years. Between 7 January 2022 and 16 February 2023, the car covered 2,312 miles. This accelerated to 10,864 miles by 2 February 2024, and further increased by 10,958 miles by the April 2025 test. This shift suggests the car has transitioned from light use to a more regular commuting role. The absence of any recorded advisories across four consecutive tests is rare for a vehicle of this age. The tester flagged no issues with brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions, nor was there any mention of structural corrosion. Such a clean record implies a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance by the previous owner. A physical inspection should still focus on age-related degradation that MOT tests sometimes overlook. Check the condition of the rubber seals and the health of the battery, as these degrade regardless of mileage. Verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals to ensure the engine maintenance matches the clean MOT record.
