2009 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · PF09 OLM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes recently. Following a single failure in late October 2022, the car has undergone three consecutive annual inspections without a single defect or advisory item being recorded. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 94,263 miles indicates that the vehicle remains maintained to a high standard, suggesting that the mechanical and safety components are being monitored effectively. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,545 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, such as the roughly 6,900 miles covered between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. This low-intensity usage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the long intervals between service points can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid seals if the vehicle sits for extended periods. While the MOT record shows no recurring mechanical faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas prone to age-related wear that do not always trigger a failure during a standard test. Check the structural integrity of the sills and rear suspension mounting for corrosion, as these are common weak points on older Honda Civics regardless of mileage. Given the age, inspect the suspension bushes and tyre sidew for cracking, as these materials can perish over time even if the car is driven infrequently.
