2005 HONDA CIVIC2.0L Petrol

The 2005 Honda Civic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 July 2025 at 109,517 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 18 June 2024 at 109,265 miles also showed a clean sheet. The vehicle has cleared every MOT attempt since early 2022 with no advisories or noted wear, indicating consistent compliance rather than recurring fault patterns. Recorded mileage sits at 109,517 against an age of roughly 21 years, equating to about 5,215 miles per year. The history shows light use: 97,314 miles on 19 January 2022, rising to 104,334 by 3 February 2023, then 109,265 by June 2024 and 109,517 by July 2025. A 252-mile gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests the car stood largely idle in that period. Low annual mileage and a clean record imply careful storage, though long standing spells can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. The only blemish is a fail on 30 January 2023 at 104,334 miles, reversed four days later on 3 February 2023 at identical mileage with no defects logged. This points to an administrative or minor rectification issue rather than structural or mechanical failure. No suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emissions faults appear anywhere in the sequence. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on underside structural integrity and concealed corrosion given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. Check brake calipers for binding after standing, scrutinise tyres and wiper blades for perishing from inactivity, and confirm suspension bushes remain free of age-related cracking. The MOT data alone shows no active concerns, but twenty-one years of age demands hands-on verification beyond the test record.
