2007 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · SB07 AFE

The most recent DVSA examination on 25 February 2022 issued a pass at 159,423 miles with no defects recorded. Against today's date of 14 July 2026, the car has stood without a formal test for over four years, leaving current roadworthiness unverified by this dataset. The trend across available entries stays stable: each pass shows a clean sheet and no mechanical faults reappear. Two failed tests dated 23 February 2022 and 9 October 2020 list no defects, which signals either immediate rectification before retest or gaps in defect logging at the test bay. Odometer readings trace a low-use profile for a 19-year-old hatchback. The record opens at 151,825 miles on 9 October 2020, rises to 154,249 miles by 14 July 2021, then reaches 159,411 miles on 23 February 2022, a span of 7,586 miles in sixteen months. That annual rate sits below the 8,391-mile average for the age bracket. The history is sparse, containing only five entries, and the same-day fail/pass pairs at identical mileages reflect administrative re-checks rather than heavy driving cycles. Absence of advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion or exhaust emissions does not exempt the buyer from physical scrutiny. A 2007 Civic nearing 160,000 miles will likely show aged rubber mounts and tired dampers unseen on a clear MOT. Inspect front lower arm bushes for cracking, probe rear coil springs for snapped coils, and assess brake calipers for binding on a road test. Examine subframe and sill seams for structural rust pitting. The undocumented failures merit a demand for prior test paperwork to rule out overlooked tyre tread or emission faults. Previous keepers appear to have kept the car lightly used, but the no-defect fail entries suggest record-keeping was loose rather than meticulous.
