HONDA CIVIC2004 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile. On 19 November 2025 at 102,791 miles the tester recorded a pass with no defects, following a fail on the same date at identical mileage where the tester logged no defects. Across the available three-year MOT span the Civic has shown no advisories or mechanical faults, indicating a consistent maintenance trend rather than worsening condition. Odometer readings confirm exceptionally light use for a 22-year-old car. The 23 November 2023 test at 97,462 miles preceded the 18 November 2024 pass at 99,849 miles, a gain of 2,387 miles over twelve months. By 19 November 2025 the clock read 102,791 miles, adding 2,942 miles. These annual increments sit well below the roughly 4,672 miles per year average derived from total mileage, pointing to long stationary periods. The clean, sparse record shows no rapid accumulation or gap exceeding a year. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related components despite the clear MOT history. The Honda's 2004 manufacture leaves suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers vulnerable to perishing or binding after prolonged inactivity. Examiners noted no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet sills and subframes demand scrutiny for hidden rust. The two fails with no defects recorded on 15 November 2024 and 19 November 2025, each reversed within days by passes, imply previous owners addressed compliance matters promptly but leave no evidence of proactive mechanical servicing. Verify documentation and test for intermittent electrical or lighting faults that may not manifest during a single assessment.
