2009 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · EA09 WXT

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT with a pass certificate issued on 6 May 2026 at 174,911 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, as the last three annual tests resulted in passes, with only two minor advisories noted in the most recent test: a minor leak in the central exhaust system and a product on the front headlamp lens. The sole historical failure was a defective registration plate lamp in May 2024, which was rectified the same day for a subsequent pass, indicating prompt correction of that specific fault. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 17-year-old vehicle. The recorded average is approximately 10,300 miles per year. The recorded mileages show steady annual increases: 155,153 miles in April 2023, 160,446 miles in May 2024 (an increase of 5,293 miles over 13 months), 167,223 miles in May 2025 (6,777 miles), and 174,911 miles in May 2026 (7,688 miles). There are no anomalous gaps or periods of extreme use evident in the record. A buyer should physically inspect the offside front tyre for uneven wear or remaining tread depth, as the April 2023 test flagged it worn close to the legal limit. The minor exhaust leak noted in May 2026 requires investigation for corrosion or damage to the system, and the headlamp lens condition should be verified for clarity. The history shows no recurring faults with core safety components such as the braking system, suspension bushes, or structural integrity, which is positive. However, the pattern of minor lighting and tyre advisories suggests basic consumable upkeep was occasionally overlooked by previous owners.
