2011 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · YX61 UDV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent MOT test on 12 November 2025 at 75,489 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just two days prior at 75,478 miles. This brief failure suggests a minor administrative oversight or a trivial consumable-related defect that was immediately rectified before the retest. Since October 2022, the car has maintained a perfect record without any advisories for mechanical wear or structural corrosion. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,033 miles per year. Between October 2022 and November 2025, the car covered 10,239 miles, indicating a pattern of light use rather than long-distance commuting. This low usage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and braking systems compared to high-mileage counterparts. However, low mileage on older cars can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related decay rather than mileage-related wear. Inspect the suspension bushes and boots for cracking or perished rubber, as these become brittle over time regardless of distance driven. Check the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion, as infrequent use often allows oxidation to build up on the un metal surfaces. While the record does not highlight structural issues, a manual check of the sills and wheel arches remains standard for a vehicle of this era.
