2011 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · MF11 AEC

The MOT record for this 2011 Honda Civic presents an exceptionally clean history, with the most recent test in August 2025 at 100,453 miles returning a pass with zero defects. This pattern of fault-free passes extends back to August 2022, indicating a stable and well-maintained vehicle. The single failure recorded in August 2023 at 95,330 miles listed no defects, which likely reflects a clerical or procedural issue rather than a genuine mechanical problem. Overall, the roadworthiness trend is positive and consistent. The mileage progression is steady and typical for a 15-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,700 miles per year. The recorded readings show a gradual increase from 92,792 miles in August 2022 to 100,453 miles in August 2025, with no sudden jumps or prolonged gaps. This suggests the car has been used regularly without extended periods of standing, which reduces the risk of issues like seized brakes or degraded seals from inactivity. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection given the car's age and 100,000-mile threshold. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or corrosion, as these components often degrade on higher-mileage Hondas. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and listen for binding calipers during a test drive. Also inspect the underbody and sills for structural rust, a common concern on vehicles of this era. The exhaust system and emissions components should be assessed for corrosion, as the record does not guarantee their condition beyond the test date.
