2019 Honda Civic 1.6L Diesel · YA68 GGX

Recurring wear on the braking system and intermittent failures regarding visibility and electronics define this vehicle's record. While it achieved a pass on 25 August 2026, this followed a failure on the same day due to a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and an ineffective offside windscreen wiper. The overall trend shows a progression of brake wear, moving from thin pads in 2023 to scored and pitted discs by 2026. An accumulation of 60,628 miles over approximately seven years represents a typical usage pattern of roughly 8,661 miles per year. This consistent level of use suggests that wear on the drivetrain and suspension is likely aligned with the vehicle's age, though the recorded mileage confirms that consumables such as brake pads and wiper blades have reached the end of their natural service life. Immediate attention is required for the braking system, as both front and rear discs are now recorded as worn, pitted, or scored, with the rear brakes specifically exhibiting fluctuation during the latest test. During a test drive, feel for any judder through the brake pedal or steering wheel under deceleration, which would indicate the extent of the disc scoring. Listen for metallic grinding or squealing, which typically accompanies the thin brake pads flagged in multiple tests since 2023. The electronic and visibility components have shown a pattern of failure, specifically regarding the windscreen wipers and the tyre pressure monitoring system. Verify that the TPMS dashboard warning is absent and that the wipers clear the glass without leaving streaks or gaps. Additionally, check the operation of the nearside marker lamp, which was noted as inoperative in the most recent inspection.
