2003 Honda Civic 1.6L Petrol · AJ53 LLD

The 2003 Honda Civic presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 November 2023 at 97,170 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the supplied history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged at any stage. The vehicle cleared its test just over two and a half years before today's date, so the certificate is now expired and a fresh test is required before road use. Recorded mileage sits at 97,170 against an age of roughly 23 years, equating to about 4,225 miles per year. The odometer moved from 77,647 on 26 October 2021 to 86,910 on 31 October 2022, then to 97,170 by 30 November 2023, a steady annual climb near 9,500 to 10,500 miles across those years. Low lifetime mileage for the age suggests lighter use or periods of storage, though the recent three-year span shows consistent running rather than dormancy. Both failures on 25 October 2022 at 86,891 miles and 30 November 2023 at 97,158 miles were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The clean pass sheets give no flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of underside structural integrity and brake caliper operation, as a 23-year-old hatchback of this era is prone to hidden sills corrosion and perished rubber components not captured by a fault-free MOT. Given the expired test and sparse advisory history, verify the vehicle's standing condition before purchase. Confirm no outstanding recalls and check tyre sidewall age, as low mileage can mask cracking from time rather than tread wear.
