2009 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · R1 MWO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-02 at 135,762 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Prior tests from 2023 to 2024 also showed no defects, with the exception of a failed MOT on 2024-12-11 at 125,893 miles, which inexplicably listed no defects. This inconsistency suggests a possible administrative error, but the absence of recurring issues in other tests implies the car has been well-maintained. The lack of advisories or critical failures in the last three annual inspections supports a neutral assessment of its roadworthiness. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,986 miles annually. The 2023-12-13 test at 116,408 miles to 2024-12-11 test at 125,893 miles shows a 9,485-mile increase, consistent with annual usage. The 2024-12-11 failed test at the same mileage as the subsequent pass raises questions about the accuracy of the record, but no structural or mechanical faults were noted in the passed tests. The MOT history lacks significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes, suggesting steady, predictable usage. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, as older vehicles often develop worn bushes or coil springs. The absence of brake-related defects in tests is positive, but visual inspection of brake discs and calipers is advised. Corrosion in underbody areas, particularly around the exhaust system, should be checked, as it can worsen over time. While the MOT records show no critical issues, the 2024 anomaly warrants clarification to confirm the vehicle’sTrue maintenance history.
