HONDA CIVIC2002 · 2.0L Petrol

The 2002 Honda Civic presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 19 May 2025 at 155,566 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this clean result follows four consecutive annual passes with zero advisories. The maintenance trend is steady and shows no worsening mechanical or structural concerns across the available five-year record. Annual mileage sits close to the typical 6,482-mile average for a 24-year-old vehicle. The records show 141,911 miles in May 2021, rising to 144,959 by May 2022, 148,435 in May 2023, 151,750 in May 2024, and 155,566 in May 2025. That is a consistent 3,000 to 4,300 miles per year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse on faults but clean, indicating routine testing and no deferred entries. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the car's age and salt-exposure risk on UK roads. The MOT history flags none of these, yet 24 years will fatigue rubber components and promote structural rust unseen in a pass-only record. Brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions should be physically checked despite the clean tests. Previous owners kept basic statutory compliance but left no evidence of proactive component renewal beyond the minimum. Verify tyre sidewall condition and underbody integrity before purchase.
