2002 Honda Civic 1.4L Petrol · FA02 APK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The test conducted on 26 January 2023 at 92,397 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from January 2022, suggesting that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of mechanical presentation during its recent operating history. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,850 miles per year. Between the 22 January 2022 test at 89,148 miles and the January 2023 test, the car covered only 3,249 miles. This indicates a low level of annual usage, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber seals and fluid components due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the sills, wheel arches, and underside, as this era of Honda Civics is prone to corrosion that may not always trigger an MOT failure immediately. Given the low mileage, the suspension bushes and tyres may have perished or developed flat spots despite having ample tread. The brakes should also be checked for binding calipers or seized sliders, as infrequent use often leads to surface rust on the discs discs and cylinders.
