Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Honda Civic Advance I-Mmd Owners

These checks follow this Honda Civic Advance I-Mmd's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Honda Civic Advance I-Mmd.

• the windscreen — “windscreen damaged”

  Check the driver’s side of the screen within the swept area for chips and cracks; anything larger than 10mm in the driver’s central view is a fail. Most chips can be resin-repaired for far less than a new screen.

• the wipers and washers — “washers not working”

  Run the wipers with the screen wet: they should clear it in one sweep without smearing or juddering. Top the washer bottle up and check both jets hit the screen.

• the mirrors — “driver's view of an obligatory external mirror significantly affected by an obstruction”

  Make sure both door mirrors are present, intact and adjustable, and that nothing is obscuring the view through the windscreen.
