2004 Honda Civic 2.0L Petrol · DA04 KXF

The 2004 Honda Civic presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 28 November 2025 at 92,231 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and free of advisories across the last three annual tests. The repeated pass-fail-pass sequence on the same date in both 2024 and 2025, with zero defects logged on any attempt, points to administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification. Recorded mileage sits at 92,231 against an estimated 4,192 miles per year for a 22-year-old vehicle, confirming exceptionally light use. The car covered just 2,357 miles between the December 2023 test at 87,883 miles and the December 2024 test at 90,474 miles. A mere 1,757 miles accrued in the subsequent year to the November 2025 pass at 92,231 miles. Such low annual accumulation suggests prolonged standing periods, though the DVSA data shows no flagged corrosion, suspension wear, or brake defects to evidence deterioration from disuse. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition given the vehicle's age and likely static storage. Standing vehicles commonly develop perished rubber suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and subframe corrosion not captured in a clean MOT pass. The absence of any advisories across 2023 to 2025 means the tester saw no cause for concern, yet 22-year-old Hondas warrant hands-on checks of exhaust hangers, coil springs, and brake disc faces for pitting. The official record implies a cautious, low-mileage ownership pattern with no skipped tests and no outstanding mechanical flags. Verify the 28 November 2025 failure was a paperwork or lighting re-check rather than a concealed fault, then confirm tyre sidewall condition and fluid intervals before purchase.
