2009 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · BN09 OMJ

The 2009 Honda Civic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 March 2026 at 160,970 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests from March 2023 to March 2025 also passed cleanly. The owner has clearly kept the vehicle to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements each year. Recorded mileage sits at 160,970 against an age of roughly 17 years, equating to about 9,469 miles per annum, which is typical for the model's age. The odometer moved from 138,561 in March 2023 to 144,813 in March 2024, then 153,046 in March 2025 and 160,970 in March 2026, showing steady yearly use of 7,000 to 8,000 miles with no abrupt accumulation or long dormant periods. The history is sparse on faults, with only a failed entry on 2 March 2024 at 144,813 miles that carries no recorded defect and was immediately superseded by a pass the same day, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a genuine fault. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car's mileage and age, as these components wear without always triggering MOT advisories. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion warrant close checking, particularly around sills and subframes where Civics of this era can degrade. The clean record implies previous owners addressed consumables before each test, but absence of advisories does not confirm component life remaining. Verify service history and inspect tyre sidewalls, exhaust emissions under load, and steering geometry before purchase.
