HONDA CIVIC1995 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a significant roadworthiness risk due to a complete lack of MOT testing for over eleven years. The last recorded test in December 2014 at 131,699 miles passed, but it noted corroded rear wheel arches and a worn wiper blade. Given that no tests have occurred since then, the current state of the mechanical and structural integrity is unknown. The maintenance trend has effectively stalled, suggesting the vehicle has likely sat stationary or been used without legal safety oversight for over a decade. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 31-year-old car, averaging approximately 4,248 miles per year. However, the data shows a concerning period of inactivity between 2010 and 2014, where the car covered only 572 miles in four years. Since the final entry in 2014, there is no recorded mileage to track further use. This pattern of long-term standing often leads to the degradation of rubber components, fluid breakdown, and brake seizing, regardless of how low the odometer suggests. A buyer must conduct a thorough structural inspection focusing on the chassis and suspension. Records from 2007 and 2010 reveal chronic issues with excessive corrosion on brake pipes, suspension mounting points, and rear trailing arm bushes. The 2014 mention of plastics fitted over sills to hide corroded arches indicates a history of structural rust that likely progressed significantly. The braking system requires immediate scrutiny for seized calipers or perished discs, as the history shows recurring failures regarding parking brake efficiency and pitted discs. The engine health also warrants attention following the repeated exhaust emissions failures in 2007 and 2010 for excessive carbon monoxide and Lambda readings. Because the vehicle has likely sat for years, the fuel system and cooling system are highly likely to be compromised or require complete overhaul. Without a recent MOT and a professional mechanical survey, the vehicle represents a high-risk investment with potential hidden structural and mechanical failure.
