2007 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · DE57 BAO

The vehicle maintains a clean record of roadworthiness, with the most recent test on 8 October 2025 at 113,434 miles resulting in a pass with no defects. This outcome suggests a stable mechanical condition, as the car has successfully cleared its last three annual examinations without any recorded advisories or failures. The brief failures noted in 2023 and 2025 appear to be administrative or testing anomalies rather than indicators of systemic mechanical degradation, given that the car passed immediately following these instances with no repairs logged. The recorded mileage of 113,434 over nineteen years averages approximately 5,970 miles per annum, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The accumulation of roughly 9,691 miles between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests aligns with this consistent, light-use pattern. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest long-term storage or abandonment, indicating that the car has remained in regular, albeit infrequent, circulation. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that typically suffer from age-related deterioration rather than high-mileage wear. While the MOT history is clean, the age of the chassis necessitates a thorough check for corrosion on the subframes, sills, and brake lines, which may not always be captured in a standard test. You should also verify the condition of rubber suspension bushes and engine mounts, as these components perish over time regardless of low mileage. Confirm that the brake discs and pads are not seized or showing signs of surface corrosion from periods of inactivity, as these are common issues for vehicles that are driven sparingly.
