2007 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · DE57 BBJ

The 2007 Honda Civic presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 September 2024 at 123,029 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history. Two earlier failures on 28 September 2022 and 27 September 2023 at identical mileages of 110,091 and 116,899 respectively show no defects logged, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults, with immediate passes logged the same day. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a nineteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 110,091 miles in September 2022, 116,899 in September 2023, and 123,029 in September 2024, equating to roughly 6,500 to 6,900 miles per year. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear between tests. The sparse clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumable replacement or deferred structural repair across this period. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the absence of advisory notes in the record, which may reflect tester leniency rather than a corrosion-free underside. Structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants close checking for hidden rust not captured in the pass results. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass entries at 110,091 and 116,899 miles suggest the previous owner used a single garage that processed paperwork loosely. Verify the V5C and service book against the odometer before purchase, as the clean MOT trail offers no warning of impending wear on drivetrain components at 123,029 miles.
