2017 Honda Civic 1.0L Petrol · HJ17 CVC

The 2017 Honda Civic presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean pass recorded on 27 February 2026 at 45,226 miles. The maintenance trend shows no worsening defects across the five-year MOT span. The most recent test followed a failed attempt two days earlier on 25 February 2026 at the same mileage, yet the failure carried no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits low for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows 32,174 miles in March 2023, rising to 36,849 by March 2024, 41,326 by March 2025, and 45,226 by February 2026. That equates to roughly 4,000 to 4,900 miles per year, confirming light use. No abrupt accumulation or standing gaps appear in the data. Every test from 2023 onwards passed with no advisories, so the history is sparse and clean. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and low annual movement, which can allow corrosion or seized components to develop unnoticed. The absence of advisories across all tests means no recurring wear pattern exists to target. Verify the February 2026 failure reason in person, as DVSA logs show no defect yet the test was rejected.
