2009 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · WN59 VMC

The 2025‑01‑18 MOT at 158,761 miles confirmed the 2009 Honda Civic as roadworthy, with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend since the previous test. Mileage has risen from 131,982 miles in November 2021 to 158,761 miles by January 2025, an increase of roughly 26,779 miles over four years, or about 6,700 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s age and typical usage. The 2024 test at 154,564 miles shows a 4,197‑mile rise in the preceding year, suggesting steady but not rapid accumulation, and there are no large gaps between the recorded tests. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brake calipers for binding, inspect the brake discs for scoring, and look for any corrosion on the chassis or exhaust system, as these components have been the focus of previous advisories despite the clean defect record. The single failure entry on 2021‑11‑18, which listed no defects, suggests that any previous issue has been rectified, but a thorough visual and functional check of the steering linkage, tyre tread depth, and structural rust spots remains essential before purchase.
