2009 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · FG09 OMH

The 2009 Honda Civic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 March 2026 at 46,094 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean results. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the entire supplied history, indicating consistent test compliance rather than recurring rectification work. Recorded mileage shows exceptionally low use for a seventeen-year-old vehicle. The odometer rose from 41,584 miles at the 9 March 2022 test to 46,094 miles by 17 March 2026, a total of 4,510 miles over four years or roughly 1,127 miles annually. The car gained only 836 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. Such low accumulation suggests prolonged standing periods, which can conceal degraded rubber components and corrosion not visible during a brief test drive. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for age-related perishing or binding, since stationary storage accelerates rubber cracking more than high-mileage use. The DVSA record shows no structural corrosion or exhaust emission failures, but the absence of advisories does not exempt the chassis from hidden rust at sills or subframes. Given the clean MOT lineage and minimal yearly coverage, previous owners likely kept the Civic as a secondary vehicle with basic storage. Verify the condition of tyres, wiper blades, and underbody integrity in person before purchase, as these consumables degrade with time rather than distance.
