2009 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · YF09 YCU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The most recent test on November 4 2025 at 93,781 miles passed with no defects, following a technical failure just one day prior at 93,780 miles. This immediate rectification suggests a minor component issue, such as a blown bulb or a sensor, which was corrected instantly before the retest, rather than a significant mechanical or structural failure. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per annum. Between the October 2022 test at 79,080 miles and the October 2024 test at 90,674 miles, the car covered 11,594 miles over two years, indicating consistent use. While the low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of sitting or low usage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown that does not reflect in mileage alone. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components susceptible to age-related wear despite the low mileage. Since the record shows no recurring issues with suspension bushes or brake corrosion, the priority should be checking for structural rust on the sills and wheel arches, which are common in this generation of Civic. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spotting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished rubber before the tread reaches the legal limit.
