2011 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · OV61 VVE

The vehicle last underwent an MOT test on 20 November 2025 and passed with no defects recorded, indicating a clean roadworthiness outcome at the most recent check. The pattern across the recorded tests is mixed rather than stable: two passes are paired with two failures on the same dates in 2024 and 2025, although each subsequent failure was followed by an immediate retest pass. No advisories or defects appear anywhere in the supplied record, so the trend shows a return to compliance after each failure, but the repeat of identical pass-then-fail entries suggests the vehicle is operating close to the threshold of test tolerance. Mileage progression across the recorded tests is steady and consistent with typical usage for a fifteen-year-old Honda Civic. The cumulative figure of 119,948 miles at an average of roughly 8,000 miles per year sits broadly in line with normal annual mileage expectations for the age of the car. The annual test cycle shows mileage accumulating in predictable blocks between November 2023, November 2024, and November 2025, with no evidence of extended gaps, clock irregularities, or unusually rapid accumulation that would point to sustained motorway use or commercial operation. With no documented advisories relating to brake discs, callipers, suspension components, coil springs, bushes, corrosion, exhaust integrity, or emissions, the MOT file alone offers no specific mechanical flags to prioritise. A prospective buyer should nonetheless carry out a physical inspection of the underbody and suspension, as MOT testing does not cover all structural and chassis components in detail. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the rear brake assembly given the dual pass-fail entries, even though the tester recorded no specific defects. A handheld inspection of tyre tread depth, brake fluid age, and any signs of oil seepage from the engine or transmission would supplement the limited MOT data. Based on the recorded evidence, the roadworthiness profile is currently clean but the historical pattern of immediate failures followed by passes warrants cautious scrutiny. Buying score 65, risk Medium.
