2000 Honda Civic 1.6L Petrol · X988 CBU

The Honda Civic presents as roadworthy on the most recent evidence, with a clean pass recorded on 28 August 2024 at 140,064 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the last three annual cycles, as the 2022, 2023, and 2024 tests all closed with passes and no advisories logged. The vehicle carries no recorded mechanical or structural faults across the supplied history. At approximately 26 years old the car shows 140,064 recorded miles, averaging just 5,387 miles per year. This low annual use suggests lighter running or extended periods off the road. The record jumps from 121,227 miles on 6 September 2022 to 132,797 miles on 8 September 2023, then to 140,064 by August 2024, reflecting steady rather than sporadic accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with two failed tests in 2022 and 2023 showing no defects recorded, implying administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than component failure. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and low dormant mileage, as standing vehicles commonly develop perished rubber and surface corrosion unseen in a bare MOT pass. The absence of advisories on corrosion or exhaust emissions across the record does not exempt the chassis and underbody from physical checks for structural integrity. Previous owners appear to have kept basic statutory testing current, though the twin fail-pass pairs on 6 September 2022 and 4 to 8 September 2023 hint at loose test centre practice rather than neglect of consumables. Verify the odometer against service stamps and confirm no outstanding recall or undocumented repair sits behind the zero-defect entries.
