2007 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · RF57 WSV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the latest available MOT data. The most recent test conducted on 18 March 2024 at 169,643 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day that listed no specific faults. This suggests a minor administrative or technical discrepancy was rectified immediately prior to the retest, indicating that the owner maintains a proactive approach to keeping the vehicle legally compliant. At 169,643 miles over 19 years, the car has averaged approximately 8,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent use, with the roughly 9,000 miles covered between December 2021 and November 2022, and another 4,000 miles between November 2022 and March 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which often leads to perished seals or seized components in older Honda models. While the record is clean of recurring mechanical advisories, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of common high-mileage failure points for this generation. Focus on the structural integrity of the rear sills and wheel arches for corrosion, as these areas often hide deep rust until it becomes a structural failure. Given the mileage, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, and check brake calipers for binding or uneven wear, as these components are not always flagged during standard MOT tests until they reach a critical state of failure.
