2009 Honda Civic 2.0L Petrol · VX59 CWU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a remarkably consistent maintenance history. Although the most recent test on 2 September 2025 at 124,741 miles resulted in an initial failure, the car passed immediately on the same day with no defects recorded. This suggests a minor, superficial issue that was rectified instantly rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since August 2022, the car has maintained a clean MOT sheet, indicating that the primary safety and emissions components have remained within DVSA tolerance parameters. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 93,849 miles and September 2025 at 124,741 miles, the car covered roughly 31,000 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than erratic spikes. The interval of approximately 9,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests indicates a regular driving schedule, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals that often suffer during long periods of inactivity. Given the lack of any recorded advisories in the last three years, a physical inspection should focus on age-related wear that the MOT test does not always capture. A buyer should examine the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and rear arches, as these are common failure points for this generation of Civic regardless of mileage. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking is also prudent, as these components perish over time before they trigger a formal MOT failure.
