2009 Honda Civic Type-R Champ I-Vtec 2.0L Other · AFZ 4262

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-08-15 inspection at 109,733 miles. The 2023-03-30 failure at 91,916 miles was noted without specific defects, suggesting a minor technical issue that was resolved by the subsequent 2023-04-25 pass. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident in the recorded history, and the absence of advisories or failures in the past two years indicates consistent maintenance. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,455 miles annually. The 2021-12-06 test at 80,979 miles shows a 10,000-mile gap to the 2023-04-25 inspection, which may reflect infrequent testing or periods of reduced use. However, the 2024-09-02 test at 100,958 miles and the 2025-08-15 pass at 109,733 miles confirm regular adherence to MOT requirements. No rapid mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity periods are apparent, though the 2023-03-30 failure’s lack of defect details limits full assessment of its cause. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which may degrade over time without MOT coverage. The absence of brake-related issues in the record is reassuring, but visual checks for corrosion on brake discs and binding calipers are recommended. Structural integrity should be assessed for rust, particularly in areas common to older Civics, and the exhaust system inspected for leaks or excessive emissions, as these are not routinely tested beyond MOT standards.
