2009 Honda Civic 2.0L Petrol · CX59 AWM

The 2009 Honda Civic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 September 2024 at 83,571 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Mileage sits low for a 17-year-old vehicle at 83,571 recorded miles, averaging roughly 4,916 miles per year. The records show light and irregular use rather than neglect through high wear. The car covered only 886 miles between the September 2023 test at 82,685 miles and the September 2024 test, yet jumped 13,011 miles between September 2022 at 69,325 miles and September 2023. Prior to that, it added 11,651 miles from September 2021 at 57,674 miles to September 2022. The DVSA data is sparse, with four annual passes and no advisories or failures logged at any point. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. Low mileage with long standing periods risks perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, degraded brake hoses, and flat-spotted tyres. The Civic's rear beam axle commonly suffers structural corrosion; testers issued no corrosion advisory, but 17 years of age warrants underside scrutiny for rust. Check brake disc condition and caliper operation for seizing after limited recent use. Verify the exhaust emissions and catalytic converter health under load. The absence of recorded faults implies conscientious previous ownership, though a pre-purchase mechanical assessment remains prudent on a vehicle of this age.
