2009 Honda Civic 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · LR59 SWU

The vehicle is currently in good condition for roadworthiness, as the most recent MOT test in August 2025 was passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, as the vehicle has passed two consecutive MOTs in August 2025 without any recorded faults, indicating that the mechanical condition has remained consistent since the previous inspection. The mileage data suggests that the vehicle has maintained approximately 8,570 miles per year over its 17-year lifespan, which is consistent with its age. However, this pattern is interrupted by two distinct failures in September 2023, where the car failed twice on the same date. This indicates that the vehicle has experienced significant wear on critical components, particularly suspension and drivetrain parts, rather than just consumable wear like tires or wipers. The gaps between the two failed tests in September 2023 are not substantial, suggesting that the vehicle has not been properly serviced to prevent further deterioration. A buyer should inspect the car for structural integrity and mechanical wear, specifically focusing on suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers, as these components were identified as the primary cause of the repeated failures. If the vehicle has been driven for over two years since the most recent MOT, the risk of structural damage is high, and the buyer must be prepared to perform a full roadworthiness inspection to ensure that the vehicle will not fail again under current driving conditions.
