2009 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · LS59 FNL

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is rated as passing, with the most recent MOT test conducted in September 2025 at 82,025 miles, indicating that the vehicle meets current safety standards. However, a clear deterioration in condition is evident from the sequence of tests, where the driver's view was removed prior to the September 2025 inspection, suggesting potential neglect or lack of regular maintenance. The mileage accumulation is notable, as the vehicle has accumulated approximately 4,825 miles annually over nearly 17 years, which is consistent with a lower mileage profile. While the test dates are relatively recent, the gap between the September 2025 test and the September 2023 test of 61,000 miles indicates that the vehicle has not undergone full service intervals in the last five years, a significant gap that could compromise structural integrity. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion and wear on suspension components and the steering rack inner joints, which were flagged in the 2025 test. The history reveals persistent issues with the nearside front tyres, particularly the worn tread on the nearside front tyre, which may require replacement to prevent future failure. Given the lack of any defect records in the 2023 test, the vehicle's drivetrain and suspension are likely in acceptable condition, but the recurring wear on the tyres warrants immediate attention to ensure long-term safety.
