2004 Honda Civic SE Auto 1.6L Other · KXZ 9906

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the history shows a period of inconsistency. The most recent test on 14 February 2025 at 172,001 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met minimum safety standards at that time. This follows a volatile period in late 2022 where the car failed two consecutive tests within six weeks, but the subsequent clean records suggest that any immediate issues were addressed and rectified by the owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of twenty-two years age, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between the December 2022 test at 162,639 miles and the February 2024 test at 168,708 miles, representing an accumulation of roughly 6,000 miles over fourteen months. The recent interval of 3,293 miles between February 2024 and February 2025 indicates a return to regular usage, which generally helps in keeping rubber components and seals from seizing due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components, as the Honda Civic of this era is prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches. While the recent MOT records show no defects, the triple failure in 2022 suggests the vehicle may have previously required attention to wear items or minor leaks. Given the high mileage and age, a physical check for worn suspension bushes, leaking dampers, and the condition of the automatic gearbox fluid is essential to ensure the mechanical health matches the clean MOT paper.
