2008 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · AG58 CVX

The 2008 Honda Civic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 August 2025 at 115,996 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since the 2022 re-test. Mileage sits at a typical level for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,444 miles per year. The records show 108,054 miles on 11 August 2022 when the car failed, then 108,065 miles on 12 August 2022 when it passed, indicating the failure was rectified within a day. Annual increments stay modest: 109,425 miles in August 2023, 112,563 in August 2024, and 115,996 in August 2025. The DVSA entry for the 2022 failure lists no defects, so the cause remains undocumented in the supplied data. Given three consecutive passes with no advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion, the previous owner appears to have kept basic upkeep current. The single unexplained failure with zero recorded defects offers no mechanical signal to act on. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, exhaust emissions, and underbody rust before purchase. The clean MOT history does not exempt the car from age-related wear on coil springs, calipers, and door sills that testers may not have flagged.
