2017 Honda Civic 1.5L Petrol · LR08 YHR

This Honda Civic has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record across all five MOT tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in any cycle. The most recent test, conducted on 26 June 2025 at 58,267 miles, confirms the vehicle passed without issue, indicating stable mechanical condition and adherence to UK roadworthiness standards. The absence of recurring faults or advisories suggests the vehicle has not experienced persistent failures in critical systems, though this does not preclude wear that may not yet have manifested as MOT failures. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of approximately 6,474 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The largest gap between tests occurs between January 2022 (24,847 miles) and July 2022 (25,227 miles), a span of just 5,426 miles over six months—unusually low for a car in active use. This suggests either prolonged storage or reduced mileage during that period. No other significant irregularities in mileage accumulation are evident, and the vehicle’s age-to-mileage ratio remains within reasonable limits for a nine-year-old model. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that often exceed MOT thresholds before failure. Particular attention should be given to the suspension system, including coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these are prone to gradual degradation without immediate MOT consequences. The brake system—particularly rear calipers, discs, and hydraulic lines—should be checked for binding, excessive wear, or corrosion, even though no advisories were recorded. Additionally, a visual inspection of the underbody and wheel arches is essential to assess structural integrity, as corrosion in critical areas can compromise safety without being flagged until it reaches advanced stages. Tyre condition, including tread depth and lateral wear patterns, should also be verified, as the absence of MOT failures does not guarantee they have been consistently maintained.
