2004 Honda Civic 1.6L Petrol · KH04 FFY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having maintained a clean record following two previous failures. The most recent test on 2 June 2025 at 181,511 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been successfully addressed. While the history shows instances of failure in 2023 and 2024, the subsequent clean passes suggest the current owner is proactive in rectifying identified MOT presentation faults. At 181,511 miles over 22 years, the Honda Civic averages approximately 8,250 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 15,479 miles covered between February 2023 and June 2024, and another 5,817 miles recorded between June 2024 and June 2025. This regular interval suggests the car does not sit for long periods, which often helps keep seals lubricated and components from seizing despite the high-mileage figure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the previous failures, although the specific mechanical reasons are not detailed in this summary. Given the age and high mileage, a thorough check of the structural integrity is essential, specifically looking for corrosion on the sills, wing arches, and suspension mounting points. The buyer should also examine the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components, as these often reach the end of their functional life around the 180,000-mile mark.
