The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 09 July 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (6 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 9 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Service brake excessively fluctuating (1.2.1 (e))”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced wheel arch (7.1.1 (a) (i)”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution. While the car has recently passed its MOT, the history reveals severe structural corrosion and repeated failures that suggest a vehicle struggling with its age and mileage.
The most critical point of negotiation is the structural integrity. In September 2024, this car failed on multiple 'prescribed area' corrosion points on the sills and wheel arches; you must verify the quality of these repairs with professional invoices, as poor weld jobs can rust through again quickly. Check for any remaining signs of rust under the chassis.
Additionally, request a full health check on the hybrid battery and IMA system, as high-mileage early Honda hybrids can suffer from battery degradation. Ensure the service history documents regular oil changes, as the 1.3L hybrid engine requires consistent maintenance to avoid the engine management light issues seen in the 2018 and 2020 MOT tests.
As a hybrid, this Civic offers better city fuel economy than a standard petrol of the same era, though the 1.3L engine is modest in power. It typically falls into a lower CO2 tax band, making it relatively cheap to tax annually.
However, maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this age. The history shows frequent replacements of anti-roll bar linkages and suspension components. Expect an annual budget for repairs to be higher than usual given the high mileage and history of corrosion.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the outer sills and rear wheel arches. The September 2024 MOT listed severe corrosion affecting seat belt anchorages and suspension mountings; ensure these areas are solid and not just covered with filler. Check the exhaust system for leaks, as this was an advisory in October 2024.
Inspect the braking system and suspension. The car has a history of fluctuating brakes (October 2024) and fractured coil springs (September 2021). Finally, check all exterior lighting, including the side repeaters and registration lamps, which have caused multiple MOT failures over the years.
This silver 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid has covered a high 174,412 miles. Its MOT history is concerning, specifically a major failure in September 2024 involving extensive structural corrosion across the outer sills and wheel arches. Although these were rectified to achieve a pass, the vehicle shows a pattern of suspension wear and electrical faults.
The 2007 Civic Hybrid is generally regarded as robust, but high-mileage examples often face hybrid battery degradation and chassis rust in the UK climate.
