HONDA CIVIC2008 · 1.8L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 15 January 2026 at 97,062 miles with no defects recorded. The absence of advisories in the last three testing cycles suggests the car is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without lingering mechanical concerns. The mileage is notably low for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,392 miles per year. Between 11 January 2024 and 15 January 2026, the odometer rose from 87,091 to 97,062 miles. This indicates a consistent usage pattern of approximately 5,000 miles annually over the last two years, rather than long periods of standing which often cause perished seals or seized calipers. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, showing no recorded defects or advisories across several years. While the record shows two instances where the car failed and passed on the same day, in January 2024 and January 2026, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may overlook. Given the age of the vehicle, check for structural corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points. Inspect the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for perishment, as these components degrade over time regardless of the low mileage. Verify the service history to ensure the engine oil and coolant have been changed regularly, as low-mileage cars often suffer from extended drain intervals.
