2008 HONDA CIVIC1.8L Petrol

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 13 August 2025 at 102,033 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 12 August 2025 and 17 August 2023, these failures were resolved on the same or following day, suggesting a pattern of immediate rectification. The mileage is notably low for an 18 year old car, averaging roughly 5,668 miles per year. Between August 2023 and August 2025, the odometer increased from 91,397 to 102,033 miles, showing a consistent usage pattern of approximately 5,300 miles annually. This low overall mileage suggests the engine and drivetrain have experienced less wear than typical for this model year, though it can sometimes indicate periods of inactivity. The absence of advisories across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age. No recurring issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs appear in the data. The record shows no mentions of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures, which are common failure points for older Civics. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that do not always trigger MOT failures but degrade with age and low usage. Check for perished rubber seals, brittle suspension bushings, and the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking. Since the MOT history is exceptionally clean, verifying the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals is the priority to ensure the low mileage has not come at the expense of preventative maintenance.
