2009 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · FG09 OMJ

The 2009 Honda Civic demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-11-05 assessment at 76,033 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s low mileage of 76,033 for its 17-year age suggests minimal usage, though the recent 10,324-mile increase between 2024-10-31 and 2025-11-05 raises questions about potential accelerated wear on components like tyres, brakes, or suspension. The mileage pattern shows gradual accumulation, with the car gaining approximately 2,700–6,800 miles annually between 2022 and 2025. Notably, the 2022-06-23 test at 55,141 miles was followed by a 953-mile jump to 56,094 by 2022-11-16, possibly reflecting infrequent use. The absence of defects across all tests suggests the owner prioritized basic upkeep, though the low mileage may have left some components, such as suspension bushes or brake discs, in a state of prolonged inactivity. No advisories or structural issues were flagged, but the lack of high-mileage wear could mask age-related degradation. A physical inspection is recommended to verify the condition of aged rubber components, corrosion in hidden areas, and suspension integrity. While the MOT history confirms no critical faults, the vehicle’s low mileage and sparse record mean potential issues—such as binding calipers, worn coil springs, or exhaust emissions—may not have been tested. Buyers should also check for signs of long-term storage, like dry rot on tyres or seized joints, and consider a mechanic’s assessment to confirm the car’s mechanical soundness beyond the MOT data.
