HONDA CIVIC2005 · 1.7L Diesel

The 2005 Honda Civic presents a roadworthy status as of the most recent test, with a clean pass recorded on 1 November 2025 at 93,468 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available record, showing no advisories or defects logged in any test. The owner cleared the vehicle through its latest examination without outstanding mechanical concerns. Mileage sits low for a 21-year-old car, totalling 93,468 miles or roughly 4,451 miles per year. The record shows 77,595 miles in the October 2023 test, 78,440 at the September 2024 failure, and 78,454 when it passed days later, before jumping to 93,468 by November 2025. That 15,000-mile rise in the final year breaks a pattern of near-dormant annual use. Sparse entries and a clean defect sheet limit deep wear analysis, though the profile suggests long stationary periods earlier in life. The September 2024 and November 2025 failures carry no recorded defects, implying administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical fault. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding given the age and prior low-use standing. Structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants a close look for rust where moisture trapped during idle spells. Confirm the odometer against service stamps and verify why the two failed tests logged zero defects. Low mileage hides nothing here, but 21 years invites perished rubber and seized linkages that a spotless MOT will not reveal.
