2005 Honda Civic 1.4L Petrol · LR55 AEP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having maintained a clean record through recent inspections. The most recent test on 6 September 2025 at 143,099 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just one mile prior. This pattern suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying minor issues immediately to ensure a passing result. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three successful tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components are currently in acceptable condition. At 143,099 miles, this 21-year-old Honda has averaged approximately 6,814 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use patterns for its age. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 8,145 miles covered between September 2023 and 2024, and another 3,458 miles between August 2024 and 2025. This steady mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat for extended periods, which often prevents the degradation of rubber seals and brake corrosion common in older vehicles of this class. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and underside, as MOT records for this era of Civic can sometimes overlook surface rust on the sills or rear mounting points. While the history is clean, the age of the vehicle means that suspension bushes and coil springs are nearing the end of their functional life regardless of the low mileage. Check for fluid leaks around the engine and brake calipers to ensure that the clean MOT history reflects a well-maintained mechanical state.
