2008 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · HV58 LRN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT on 27 November 2025 at 114,001 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the owner rectified minor electrical failures recorded six days prior to that test. Those failures involved an inoperative registration plate lamp and a faulty nearside side repeater. The resolution of these defects before the passing test suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing safety-related items once they are flagged. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 96,940 miles and the November 2025 test at 114,001 miles, the car covered 17,061 miles, indicating a steady and predictable usage rate. This low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain components, though the age of the vehicle still makes the degradation of rubber-based parts a primary concern. A buyer should inspect the front suspension and alignment in person, given that the November 2024 test flagged tyres worn to the legal limit on both front wheels and the offside rear. This specific wear pattern often indicates incorrect camber or worn suspension bushes which may require attention. While the record shows no structural corrosion or brake binding issues, the age of the Honda Civic necessitates a thorough physical check of the chassis sills and wheel arches for rust, which are common failure points for this generation regardless of mileage.
