2007 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · SM07 ADV

This Honda Civic presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 September 2025 at 105,739 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes in September 2024 and September 2023, suggesting the vehicle is currently well-maintained and free of immediate mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,565 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 95,877 miles in June 2022 to 105,739 miles by September 2025. This gradual accumulation indicates light usage rather than long periods of stagnation. A failure recorded on 22 June 2023 at 100,532 miles was resolved quickly, with a pass achieved just three months later at 100,551 miles. Despite the absence of recorded defects, the vehicle's age makes certain areas a priority for physical inspection. Low-mileage cars often suffer from perished rubber components. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and engine mounts for cracking. The lack of reported corrosion in the MOT history is positive, but a manual check of the sills and chassis rails is necessary to ensure structural integrity. Attention should also be paid to the braking system and tyres. While the tester flagged no issues, low annual mileage can lead to brake discs developing surface corrosion or calipers seizing due to inactivity. Checking for uneven tyre wear will confirm if the wheel alignment remains correct despite the limited road use.
