2009 Honda Civic Type-R Champ I-Vtec 2.0L Petrol · YKZ 6865

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, having failed its most recent test on 13 October 2025 at 87,916 miles. The maintenance trend appears erratic. While the car passed in October 2024 and November 2023, the failure in October 2025 without recorded defects suggests an administrative failure or a test that was not completed. This lack of a current certificate means the car is not legally roadworthy for use on public roads. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 17 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,172 miles per year. A significant gap exists in the records between July 2017 at 78,655 miles and September 2018 at 82,953 miles, followed by a five year period of very limited use. Between November 2023 and October 2025, the odometer moved only 184 miles. Such prolonged periods of inactivity often lead to perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, and battery degradation. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension. Long-term standing frequently causes brake discs to corrode and calipers to seize, which may not be evident if the car has not been driven. Inspect the tyres for flat spots or sidewall cracking due to age rather than tread wear. Given the age of this Honda Civic Type-R, check the underbody and wheel arches for structural corrosion, as the MOT history is too sparse to confirm the chassis has remained rust-free over the last decade.
