2007 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · WJ57 EDO

The most recent MOT on 11 November 2025 recorded a pass at 127,208 miles with no defects. The same date also shows a fail entry with no defects listed, which suggests the vehicle was initially presented and then immediately re-tested to secure the pass. With no faults or advisories on the final certificate, the car is roadworthy as of that inspection. The maintenance pattern across the record is stable; each successive pass has come with a clean sheet. The recorded history spans three test cycles starting on 13 October 2023 at 105,527 miles. That vehicle covered roughly 14,309 miles in the following year, reaching 119,836 miles by the 2 October 2024 failure. The tester rectified the fault within a week, and the car passed on 9 October 2024 at 120,009 miles. Annual use settles around 6,700 miles, which is typical for a 19-year-old Honda Civic. The gaps between tests are regular and show no signs of long periods standing or extreme mileage surges. Although the MOT history is entirely clean, the car is nearly two decades old. At 127,208 miles, a prospective buyer should check suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as these fail gradually and often pass unnoticed until they knock. Brake discs and calipers merit a close look for binding or lipping, and the underside should be examined for any structural corrosion, even though no tester has flagged it to date. Tyre condition and wiper blades are minor consumables, but given the clean history, the previous owner has clearly stayed on top of basic upkeep. The record itself gives no mechanical cause for concern.
