AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2002 Honda Civic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 127,127 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual examinations from 2021 through 2024 also passed cleanly, showing no advisories or escalating faults across the five-year record. Recorded mileage sits at 127,127 against 24 years of age, an average of roughly 5,300 miles per year. The car gained only 4,269 miles between the October 2022 test at 110,451 miles and the November 2024 test at 122,858 miles, then 4,269 miles again to the 2025 test. This low, consistent accumulation implies light use rather than hard driving, though standing periods common to low-mileage cars can let seals, tyres, and brake components degrade without warning. No tester ever flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the history. A clean sheet over five tests suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. Still, at this age structural integrity and hidden rust demand a physical check beneath sills and subframes. A buyer should inspect the underside for corrosion, confirm brake calipers are free and discs unworn, and verify tyres have no perishing from low use. The MOT data alone shows no active concern, but a 2002 chassis warrants hands-on scrutiny the record cannot provide.
