2005 Honda Civic 1.6L Petrol · LS05 UWP

The 2005 HONDA CIVIC currently fails the MOT at 2026-06-18 with a score of 70, indicating a non-roadworthy vehicle. This assessment is supported by a clear deterioration in maintenance history since the most recent test on 2026-06-03, which passed at 99,718 miles without defects. The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is considered non-roadworthy for a 21-year-old car. The maintenance trend has been unstable and worsening. The test results show a significant gap in the 2025-2024 period, where the car failed twice on 2025-03-13 and 2025-03-14. This lack of consistent pass ratings suggests that basic upkeep was skipped, leading to the accumulation of wear on critical components. The failure on 2025-03-13 specifically highlighted issues with nearside suspension arms and ball joints, while the 2024-04-03 test revealed further wear on the same front and rear suspension arms and pin bushings, confirming that the previous owner had neglected these structural elements. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the rear wiper blade, which was found defective in the 2023-08-08 test. Given the recurring faults in suspension bushings, ball joints, and brake discs, the car is not roadworthy for safe driving. The extensive corrosion noted in the 2025-03-13 test on the exhaust system and the 2025-03-14 registration plate deterioration further indicate that the vehicle has not been properly maintained. The driver must be advised to replace the wiper, the suspension components, and the brake discs before the car can be legally driven.
