2007 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · FL57 MZP

The Honda Civic currently holds a failed MOT status from the 29 January 2025 test at 152,862 miles, with no defects recorded against the failure. Prior to that, the vehicle passed every annual test from 20 January 2024 at 147,762 miles back through 2 February 2022 at 137,299 miles, following an earlier failure on 29 January 2022 at 137,286 miles that also logged no defects. The maintenance trend shows a clean record between 2022 and 2024, then an unexplained failure at the most recent test, leaving roadworthiness unconfirmed for the last eighteen months. Annual mileage averages close to 8,045 miles, consistent with typical use for a 2007 vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 137,286 miles in January 2022 rising to 152,862 miles by January 2025, a gain of roughly 15,576 miles over three years. No abrupt jumps or dormant periods appear in the data, and the sparse advisory field across all entries suggests either light mechanical wear or minimal tester commentary rather than deferred consumable replacement. Because both failures list no recorded defects, the DVSA system likely captured administrative or emissions-related rejections rather than hard mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as nineteen years of service can conceal corrosion and binding calipers not surfaced in these summaries. Confirm the reason for the January 2025 failure with the testing station before purchase. Given the lapse since the last test, the Civic is not legally roadworthy today and requires a fresh MOT with documented defect clearance. Treat the missing failure detail as a due-diligence flag rather than evidence of a sound chassis.
