2003 Honda City Express 0.0L Petrol · AE03 AET

The 2003 Honda City Express presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 October 2025 at 23,778 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 8 February 2022 at 21,614 miles shows no advisories or mechanical faults carried forward. The vehicle has avoided recurring structural, suspension, or brake defects across its documented history. The recorded mileage reflects exceptionally light use for a 23 year old vehicle. From the 25 January 2021 test at 19,376 miles to the 8 February 2022 test at 21,614 miles the car covered 2,238 miles, then only 1,699 miles by the 10 February 2023 test at 23,313 miles, and a marginal 465 miles to the 2025 test. This averages roughly 1,034 miles per year. A three year gap separates the 2023 and 2025 entries, suggesting the car spent long periods stationary between tests. The 10 February 2023 record shows both a fail and a pass on the same day at 23,313 miles, yet the DVSA data lists no defects for either outcome. This points to an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical fault, not a sign of skipped consumable upkeep. No advisories for tyre tread, wiper blades, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the chain. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of age-related items the MOT does not capture. Standing time invites perished rubber suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and sub-frame corrosion unseen at test. Verify the brake discs for pitting, check coolant and fuel system condition, and confirm the odometer reading matches the documented 23,778 miles before purchase.
