2005 Honda Civic 1.4L Petrol · LB05 AAF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT test on 14 August 2025 at 182,830 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern of compliance despite two recorded failures on the same dates as the 2024 and 2025 passes. Because no specific defects were listed for those failed entries, they likely stemmed from administrative oversights or minor items that were rectified immediately prior to the retest, rather than systemic mechanical or structural degradation. At 21 years of age, the recorded mileage of 182,830 represents an average annual usage of approximately 8,700 miles. This is consistent with typical UK usage patterns for an older commuter. The data shows consistent intervals, with roughly 7,600 miles covered between August 2023 and July 2024, and another 9,500 miles between July 2024 and August 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than left to sit, which generally helps prevent seals and rubber components from drying out. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, particularly the rear wheel arches and sills, where this generation of Civic is prone to significant corrosion. Given the high mileage, a close look at the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary to check for perished rubber or leaks. While the record is clean of advisories, the age of the vehicle warrants a check for binding brake calipers and thinning brake discs to ensure the previous owner has maintained the braking system beyond the basic annual test requirements.
