2009 Honda Civic SE I-Ctdi 2.2L Gas bi-fuel · RE09 LLT

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 17 May 2025 at 139,013 miles. This result indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the car successfully addressed failures from early 2024 and early 2025. The lack of recorded advisories or defects on the latest certificate suggests that the previous failures were likely isolated incidents or minor items that were rectified rather than signs of a progressive structural or mechanical decay. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 139,013 miles aligns closely with the national average of approximately 8,200 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a 7,244-mile interval between January 2023 and April 2024, and another 6,510 miles covered between April 2024 and May 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting stationary, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals, rubber components, and brake systems against corrosion and seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that triggered the failures in April 2024 and April 2025. While the records do not list the specific reasons for those failures, recurring issues within short timeframes often point to consumable items such as bulbs, wiper blades, or minor fluid leaks. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the chassis for structural rust around the sills and wheel arches is essential, alongside an inspection of the condition of suspension bushes and brake discs to ensure the high mileage has not resulted in excessive wear.
