2007 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · CV57 BYB

The 2007 Honda Civic presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 24 October 2025 at 145,650 miles, and the maintenance trend across the supplied records reads as stable with no advisories or defects logged at any stage. The most recent test came just over eight months before today's date, so the certificate remains current and the vehicle sits in a sound tested condition. A prior failure on 15 October 2025 at 145,636 miles carries no recorded defects, which suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven stop. Mileage progression tracks as broadly typical for a nineteen-year-old car. The odometer moved from 123,897 miles at the June 2022 test to 135,130 miles in June 2023, then 135,862 miles by October 2024 and 145,650 miles by October 2025. Annual use averages near 7,600 miles. A nine-month gap separates the 2023 and 2024 tests versus the usual twelve-month cycle, but the sparse, clean record shows no rapid accumulation or prolonged dormancy that would alarm a buyer. The absence of any flagged items across five tests means the DVSA history reveals no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or corrosion issues. That clean run implies previous owners kept basic consumables and structural integrity within test limits. A zero-advisory pattern on a car of this age is unusual and warrants a measured view rather than blind trust in the paper trail. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural points, subframe corrosion, and suspension compliance, since MOT pass sheets do not capture wear below advisory thresholds. Verify the October 2025 failure reason with the test station, and confirm brake caliper freedom, exhaust emissions, and tyre sidewall condition at 145,650 miles before purchase.
