2008 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · SB02 AEB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 2 April 2026 at 112,137 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes over the previous three years, suggesting that the current owner maintains the vehicle to a high standard that prevents the accumulation of minor mechanical faults. The mileage progression is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's eighteen-year age, averaging approximately 6,230 miles per annum. Between April 2023 at 96,455 miles and April 2026 at 112,137 miles, the car covered 15,682 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. While a failure was recorded on 4 April 2024 at 102,306 miles, the immediate re-test on the same day suggests a minor, perhaps consumable-related issue that was rectified promptly rather than a systemic mechanical failure. A prospective buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components prone to age-related degradation despite the clean test history. Given the vehicle s 2008 manufacture date, close inspection of structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential, as MOT tests only flag surface rust once it becomes structural. One should also check the suspension bushes and rubber mounts for cracking, as these perish over time regardless of low annual mileage. The lack of recorded advisories for brake components or tyres suggests good upkeep, but a physical check of the brake discs for uneven wear remains necessary to ensure no binding calipers have developed since the last test.
