2007 Honda Civic Type R 2.0L Petrol · LX07 NCE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 April 2026 with 129,058 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the failure recorded just nine days prior at 128,815 miles was limited to non-mechanical electrical components involving a missing rear fog lamp and switch. These issues were rectified immediately, suggesting the current owner is attentive to MOT compliance requirements and willing to address defects as they are identified. At 19 years of age, the recorded mileage of 129,058 miles represents an average usage of approximately 6,793 miles per year. This low profile is consistent with a vehicle that has been used sparingly rather than for high-mileage commuting. Between the April 2025 test and the April 2026 test, the car covered 864 miles, indicating a period of very low usage. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of rubber degradation and fluid stagnation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as the MOT record does not detail any surface rust or rubber bushing wear. Given the age and the intermittent usage pattern, it is vital to check for corrosion on the rear arches and sills, which are common for this generation of Civic. Additionally, inspect the brake system for any seized calipers or pitting, as long periods of standing can lead to latent mechanical issues that a standard MOT test might not fully expose.
