2008 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · SO57 AEN

The Honda Civic holds a valid roadworthy pass from 23 December 2025 at 76,796 miles, and the mechanical maintenance trend reads stable across the recent record. The vehicle failed on 17 December 2025 at the same mileage with no defects recorded, then passed six days later. Earlier, on 27 June 2024 the tester issued two failure results at 71,400 miles, again with no defects logged. Such repeats without mechanical advisories indicate non-mechanical or administrative causes rather than worsening condition. Odometer data shows 76,796 miles on an eighteen-year-old hatchback, a low average near 4,266 miles per year. The supplied MOT entries cover only 2024 and 2025, leaving earlier history absent. From June 2024 at 71,400 miles to March 2025 at 72,772 miles the car covered 1,372 miles in nine months. By December 2025 the reading reached 76,796 miles after a further 4,024 miles. Light use of this pattern often masks degraded rubber components and corrosion from prolonged standing. Despite zero recorded defects, a buyer should physically examine typical aged Civic weak points. The MOT log flags no suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers or structural rust, yet low mileage and repeated non-mechanical failures suggest the previous owner may have neglected basic upkeep checks. Target sill corrosion, subframe integrity and brake disc condition during inspection. Confirm exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition given potential storage periods.
