2009 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · FJ09 VSA

The 2009 Honda Civic presents a stable roadworthiness status with its most recent test on 2 May 2024 recording a pass at 135,002 miles and no defects noted. The maintenance trend across the supplied record shows no worsening faults, though the same-day failure on 2 May 2024 at 134,997 miles with no defects recorded points to an administrative or presentational issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical defect. Prior passes in April 2023 at 128,290 miles and April 2022 at 120,951 miles also carried zero advisories. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 17-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,941 miles per year against the 135,002 miles recorded. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests shows 7,339 miles covered, and 6,712 miles between 2023 and the 2024 pass, a consistent and unremarkable pattern. The record is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions concerns ever flagged across the four entries. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion given the vehicle's age, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm absence of early-stage rust on sills or subframes. The brake discs, coil springs, and suspension bushes warrant a physical check for fatigue not visible in a clean test history. Verify the reason for the 2 May 2024 failure with zero defects via the DVSA portal before purchase, since the duplicate same-day entry suggests a retest or data anomaly rather than owner neglect. Overall the Civic's history implies disciplined basic upkeep, but age-related wear on consumables and chassis components remains the key risk at 135,002 miles.
