2008 HONDA CIVIC1.8L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean MOT record over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 at 113,156 miles resulted in no defects recorded, continuing a trend of successful passes following a single failure in 2022. The transition from a failed test to three consecutive clean passes with no advisories suggests that the previous owner has proactively addressed any mechanical or structural issues that previously surfaced. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's eighteen-year age, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per annum. Between September 2022 and October 2025, the car covered 3,490 miles, showing a steady but low usage rate rather than erratic driving habits. This low annual mileage often reduces wear on drivetrain components and suspension but can mean that rubber components may become brittle over time due to age rather than distance travelled. The lack of rapid mileage accumulation indicates the vehicle has not been subjected to high-stress, long-distance commuting recently. Despite the clean recent history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills and rear arches, where Honda Civics of this era are prone to corrosion. Since the MOT record does not list recent advisories for rust, the buyer must check for emerging surface bubbling that has not yet reached the threshold for a failure. Additionally verify the state of the suspension bushes and brake hoses for cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from degradation of rubber elements that are not strictly monitored during a standard MOT test.
