2004 Honda Civic 1.6L Petrol · CK54 AEP

The 2004 Honda Civic presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 124,592 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied record is stable, showing no advisories or mechanical faults flagged by testers. A notable anomaly appears in the duplicate entries for 19 February 2026 and 15 to 16 November 2024, where the vehicle failed and passed on consecutive days at identical mileages with no defects listed; this points to administrative re-testing rather than genuine mechanical failure. The odometer shows 124,592 miles against 22 years of age, equating to roughly 5,663 miles per year. This is low for a vehicle of this vintage. Between the 25 October 2023 test at 115,507 miles and the 16 November 2024 pass at 120,479 miles, the car covered 4,972 miles in just over twelve months. From November 2024 to February 2026 it added only 4,113 miles across fifteen months, confirming light and likely intermittent use consistent with the sparse three-year MOT span provided. Given the absence of any recorded advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the DVSA data implies previous owners kept basic statutory testing compliance but offers no insight into underlying wear. A buyer should physically inspect the underbody for structural rust and check the condition of consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades, which the tester did not flag but degrade with age regardless of low mileage. Standing periods implied by the low annual use raise the risk of seized brake calipers and perished rubber components. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pairs without defects suggest clerical test errors, not resolved faults. An independent inspection of drivetrain mounts and steering joints remains prudent before purchase.
