2005 Honda Civic 1.6L Petrol · FP05 OPB

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition based on the most recent MOT pass on 25 November 2025. The maintenance trend is exceptionally clean for a car of this age, with no defects or advisories recorded across the last four successful tests. This suggests a consistent level of mechanical upkeep and a vehicle that has been kept in a state of readiness for the road. Mileage accumulation has remained steady over the last few years. The car covered 3,289 miles between the August 2022 test at 147,135 miles and the September 2023 test at 150,424 miles. It then added 3,153 miles by December 2024, reaching 153,577 miles. This low annual usage indicates the car has not been subjected to heavy long-distance commuting in its recent history. The MOT record is unusually sparse regarding faults, which is rare for a 2005 model. While the lack of recorded defects is positive, a buyer should still manually inspect the chassis and suspension mounting points for corrosion. Older Hondas often suffer from structural rust that may not always be flagged if it has not yet compromised the safety of a specific component. Check the condition of the brake discs and suspension bushes during a physical inspection. Because the record shows no replacements or advisories for consumables since 2022, these parts may be nearing the end of their natural service life. Verifying the fluid levels and checking for oil leaks will confirm if the internal engine maintenance matches the clean external MOT history.
