2008 Honda Civic 2.0L Petrol · YR08 AEP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on 27 February 2026 at 126,756 miles. While the most recent test indicates no defects, the maintenance trend shows significant instability over the last eighteen months. The vehicle failed two consecutive tests in late 2025 and early 2026, despite only 33 miles being recorded between those specific attempts. This suggests that specific mechanical or safety issues were only addressed immediately upon a failure, rather than being managed through proactive preventative maintenance. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 126,756 miles represents an average of approximately 7,042 miles per year, aligning with typical usage patterns for this age. The data shows a consistent rate of travel between September 2023 and September 2024, where the car covered 4,737 miles. However, the rapid accumulation of 4,230 miles between September 2024 and February 2026 indicates a recent increase in usage frequency. The relatively low annual mileage on a vehicle of this era often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals, regardless of the odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion, as these areas are common failure points for this generation of Honda Civic. Since the record shows recent failures without specific defect descriptions in the summary, the inspector should check for signs of worn suspension bushes or leaking exhaust components that may have triggered the recent declines. Pay close attention to the brake discs for pitting and the condition of the coil springs, as the erratic testing history suggests the vehicle may be operating on the limit of its component service intervals.
