2009 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · RF58 OTT

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test on 17 December 2025 at 105,344 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a perfect pass record across the last five years. This trend suggests a stable maintenance regime where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical issues and wear items before they could result in a formal test failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a low-to-moderate usage profile, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per annum. Between November 2021 and December 2025, the car covered 26,327 miles, showing a steady rate of travel without significant gaps. The 8,049 miles recorded between the December 2024 and 2025 tests indicates a period of regular use. This low mileage for a seventeen-year-old vehicle reduces stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and engine internals compared to high-mileage fleet vehicles. While the digital record is clear of advisories, a physical inspection should focus on common age-related issues for this generation of Honda Civic. The buyer must check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and wheel arches, as these areas often hide surface rust before it becomes critical. Given the low annual mileage, inspect the rubber components and suspension arm bushes for cracking or degradation, which can occur regardless of distance driven. The lack of recorded brake issues or exhaust leaks suggests the underlying hardware has been well-maintained, but a manual check of brake discs and calipers remains necessary to ensure no binding has developed during periods of lower use.
