2005 Honda Civic 1.6L Petrol · LC55 EDF

The 2025‑11‑18 MOT at 83,271 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable condition. All previous tests from 2022 through 2025 also showed no recorded faults, indicating consistent upkeep. Mileage has risen by about 3,700–4,500 miles each year since 2022, translating to an average of 3,965 miles per year for a 21‑year‑old car, which is low for its age and suggests periods of reduced use. The only anomaly is the 2023‑11‑17 entry, which was logged as failed at 75,053 miles yet listed no defects, an inconsistency that should be clarified. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension system, looking for worn bushes, corroded coil springs, and any binding in the rear brake calipers or discs, as these components frequently exhibit wear on high‑mileage Hondas. Examination of the chassis for structural rust, particularly around the wheel arches and subframe, and verification of exhaust and emissions compliance are also advisable. Finally, check tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and brake pad thickness, and request service documentation to confirm that the 2023 failure was fully remedied before purchase.
