2007 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · RF07 AAY

The latest MOT on 30 April 2025 recorded a pass at 142,372 miles, indicating the vehicle presently meets the statutory road‑worthiness requirements. The earlier fail on the same date, without any logged defects, suggests a clerical correction rather than a recurring mechanical issue; overall the record shows no deterioration, so the maintenance trend appears stable. Mileage has risen from 129,535 miles on 13 September 2022 to 140,367 miles on 16 March 2024, then to 142,372 miles by April 2025. This equates to roughly 6,500 miles per year, well below the average for a 19‑year‑old car and implying relatively light use. No large gaps or sudden spikes are evident, and the incremental increase aligns with normal wear patterns for a vehicle of this age. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly the front and rear bushes and coil springs, as mileage alone does not reveal hidden degradation. Inspect brake discs, pads and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and confirm tyre tread depth and uniformity. Examine the chassis for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and under‑carriage, and assess exhaust emissions for any signs of leaks or excessive smoke. While the MOT history shows no recorded failures, a thorough visual and functional check of these areas will ensure any latent issues are identified before purchase.
