2007 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · FP57 ABZ

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 30 October 2025 at 97,618 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has suffered very little mechanical degradation. The mileage is remarkably low for a 19 year old car, averaging roughly 5,138 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last five years, growing from 81,625 miles in September 2021 to 97,618 miles by October 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing history that would suggest periods of neglect or undocumented heavy use. While the MOT record is flawless, the low annual mileage and the age of the vehicle introduce specific risks. Long periods of light use can lead to perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and engine mounts, which may not be flagged until they fail completely. A buyer should manually check for perishing in the tyres and ensure the brake calipers are not seizing due to inactivity. The absence of any recorded corrosion or structural advisories over five years is positive, but a physical inspection of the underbody remains necessary. Focus on the sills and suspension mounting points to ensure no surface rust has developed. Given the clean record, the primary concern is not recurring faults but the general degradation of consumables that occurs naturally with age regardless of mileage.
