Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Given the age of this 1.6L Civic, the primary focus should be on the reasons for the MOT failures in February 2023 and February 2025. As the specific defects are not listed in the summary, you should request the full MOT certificates to identify what repairs were required. Pay close attention to any recurring issues that may suggest ongoing problems.
Verify the service history for the 1590cc engine, looking for evidence of regular oil changes and timing belt replacements, which are critical for this model's longevity. Negotiate the price based on the age of the vehicle and any upcoming maintenance requirements identified during your inspection.
The 1.6L petrol engine offers a balance of performance and efficiency for its era, though it will be less economical than modern equivalents. Tax will be based on the vehicle's age and emissions bracket, and insurance groups for the Civic are typically affordable, making it a relatively low-cost option for insurance.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the vehicle's 24-year age and 121,000-mile odometer reading. Expect to budget for the replacement of aging rubber components, suspension bushings, and potential exhaust corrosion.
Focus your inspection on the chassis and sills for signs of corrosion, as older Japanese imports and UK-built cars of this era are susceptible to rust. Check the brake discs and pads, as well as the tyre tread and age, given the recent MOT pass in March 2025.
Inspect the engine bay for leaks and check the condition of the coolant. Because the vehicle failed its MOT twice shortly before passing (once in 2023 and once in 2025), specifically examine the areas most likely to cause quick-fix failures, such as lighting, wipers, and tyre depth.
This silver 2002 Honda Civic SE Executive has recorded 121,032 miles. The MOT history shows five tests between February 2023 and March 2025, including two failures, although the provided data does not specify the reasons for these failures. It is an older, high-mileage petrol vehicle that has passed its most recent inspection.
Aggregate data for this specific trim is unavailable, but the vehicle has managed to maintain a current MOT despite its age.
