2004 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · AF54 UOA

The Honda Civic presents as roadworthy following the most recent pass on 30 May 2025 at 93,206 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no escalating mechanical concerns across the five-year record. Two prior failures on 19 May 2025 and 15 May 2024 occurred at 93,170 and 89,299 miles respectively, yet the DVSA data lists no defects against either, indicating administrative or presentation issues at test rather than outstanding wear. The odometer shows 93,206 miles against a 22-year lifespan, averaging roughly 4,237 miles per year. In the 10 May 2023 test the car recorded 81,927 miles, rising to 89,300 by 22 May 2024 and 93,206 by May 2025. This reflects light annual use with no abrupt accumulation. Low mileage of this order often signals extended standing periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop despite minimal road wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as the MOT record supplies no advisory detail to confirm their condition. Standing time raises the risk of seized handbrake mechanisms and degraded tyre sidewalls even where tread remains legal. Structural underbody points should be checked for rust given the vehicle's 2004 manufacture date. The clean defect sheet across all tests suggests previous owners maintained basic statutory compliance, though the twin no-defect failures imply the car was presented without resolved faults on first attempt. Verify service history independently, as MOT passes alone do not evidence routine fluid or timing component renewal on a low-mileage Civic of this age.
