HONDA CIVIC S2002 · 1.4L Other

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean MOT history across the last five annual tests. In the most recent test on 5 December 2025 at 104,311 miles, the tester recorded no defects or advisories. Prior examinations on 15 November 2024 at 100,695 miles, 17 November 2023 at 97,565 miles, 2 November 2022 at 93,595 miles, and 5 November 2021 at 90,306 miles each returned passes with no faults noted. This consistent pass rate indicates the previous keepers maintained the Civic to a standard that satisfied DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical or structural concerns. The odometer shows 104,311 miles against a 24-year service life, equating to an average of roughly 4,346 miles per year. Annual increments stayed tightly grouped: the car covered 3,289 miles between the 2021 and 2022 tests, 3,970 miles to November 2023, 3,130 miles to November 2024, and 3,616 miles to December 2025. Such low yearly use suggests light commuting or extended periods of storage rather than high-load motorway cycles. The record contains no gaps beyond the standard twelve-month intervals, and the absence of any advisory for corrosion or worn consumables points to a care pattern where basic statutory checks were met, though low mileage alone does not certify component health. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive items that MOT sheets may not flag until failure. The 2002 chassis likely harbours perished rubber suspension bushes, tired coil springs, and latent corrosion on sills or subframes despite clean tests. Brake discs and calipers, though passed, warrant measurement for lip wear and binding after long standing. Exhaust emissions met limits, yet the catalytic converter and mounts deserve scrutiny for heat cracking. Given the stable history, the Civic represents a low-risk purchase from a documentation standpoint, but pre-purchase scrutiny of structural integrity and fluid condition remains prudent. The previous owners clearly adhered to annual testing, yet no record replaces hands-on assessment of drivetrain seals and steering joints on a two-decade-old vehicle.
