2009 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · SC59 AEN

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend and remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT. The test on 10 October 2025 at 73,859 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to October 2021, suggesting a high standard of mechanical upkeep and a lack of recurring faults. The mileage is notably low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 4,345 miles per year. The odometer readings show steady, low-volume usage, increasing from 61,319 miles in October 2021 to 73,859 miles by October 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing history, which indicates the car has been used regularly but sparingly over the last five years. While the MOT record is flawless, the low annual mileage and the age of the vehicle introduce specific risks. Long periods of light use can lead to perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and engine mounts, or the degradation of brake fluid and coolant. A buyer should manually check for any sticking brake calipers or flat spots on the tyres that may result from the car sitting stationary for extended periods. Attention should also be paid to the chassis and underbody. The MOT history does not flag corrosion, but 17-year-old vehicles often develop structural rust in areas not always highlighted during a standard test if the car has been kept in a dry environment. A physical inspection of the sills and suspension mounting points is advised to ensure the structural integrity matches the clean paperwork.
