2002 Honda Civic 1.6L Petrol · AG02 AFF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. Following a successful test in March 2023 at 131,456 miles, the car passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met the required standard at that time. This follows a pattern of successful passes after initial failures in 2021 and 2022, which were rectified prior to subsequent inspections. The recorded mileage of 131,456 miles is notably low for a 24-year-old Honda Civic, averaging approximately 5,477 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns between June 2021 and March 2023, where the vehicle covered 5,819 miles over a two-year period. This low annual mileage suggests limited wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long-term use on a vehicle of this age can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid seals if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A prospective buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the lower chassis and suspension, as older Honda vehicles from this era are prone to structural corrosion that may not always trigger an immediate failure until it becomes significant. While the recent records are clean, the physical check of suspension bushes, control arms, and brake pipe lines is necessary to identify any hidden rust. Given the previous failures in 2021 and 2022, verifying the condition of the brake discs and the integrity of the exhaust system remains essential to ensure that the issues which previously caused failures are not recurring.
