2017 Honda Civic 1.5L Petrol · YC17 NND

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive repairs as the car ages. The most recent test in March 2026 at 105,010 miles identified an advisory for worn front suspension arm pins or bushes on both sides. While this did not result in a failure, it signals that the suspension geometry is beginning to reach the end of its functional life after years of relatively clean records. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical annual-use vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per year over its nine-year life. There is a clear progression of usage between February 2024 at 78,129 miles and March 2025 at 90,085 miles, where the car covered nearly 12,000 miles in just thirteen months. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally benefits the condition of seals but accelerates mechanical wear on rubber and friction components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension to check for excessive play in the control arms, as flagged in the latest MOT. The history also shows recurring issues with brake pads, with thin pads noted at 65,677 miles in 2023 and 90,085 miles in 2025. This pattern suggests the previous owner waited for an advisory or failure before performing maintenance. Verify the current thickness of the brake discs and pads to ensure they are not nearing another point of required replacement immediately following the last test.
