My company expects me to drive a Honda Civic that isn't equipped with
a spare wheel, I thought this has always been a legal requirement. What has changed?


You don't need a spare wheel but if you do have one it must be roadworthy.

Urban Myth - as already stated above (evidenced with cites to the relevant regulations) the spare wheel is not a mandated, and even when carried is subject to no legal requirements unless/until fitted to a road wheel.

PDR


It is in Northern Ireland.


What is what?


The spare wheel if equipped is tested in the MOT.
