2009 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · YKZ 1107

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 27 January 2026, confirming its roadworthiness as of the most recent inspection. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car passed its latest assessment with no recorded defects or advisories. While the vehicle failed an initial test on 24 January 2026, the absence of specific failure items suggests this was likely an administrative or testing anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, as the subsequent pass occurred only three days later at the same mileage. At 139,761 miles, the vehicle has covered an average of approximately 8,221 miles per year over its seventeen-year lifespan. The record shows consistent usage patterns, with 9,045 miles added between the February 2025 test and the January 2026 inspection. This steady accumulation indicates the car has remained in regular operation rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which generally benefits seals, gaskets, and fuel system components that can degrade during prolonged storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-mileage wear items that fall outside the scope of a standard MOT. Given the age and mileage, verify the condition of the clutch assembly and check for any signs of oil seepage from the engine or gearbox. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or perished rubber, as these components often require replacement on a Honda Civic of this vintage. While the recent MOT history is remarkably clean, a thorough check of the service history for timing chain or valve clearance adjustments remains prudent to ensure the long-term reliability of the drivetrain.
