2002 Honda Civic 1.7L Diesel · ND02 WCF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 17 February 2026 at 152,563 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a recurring pattern of immediate failure followed by rectification on the same day. In both 2025 and 2026, the car failed the initial test but passed shortly after, suggesting that the owner addresses specific faults only when prompted by legislation rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,357 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered 1,796 miles, while it covered only 666 miles in the year leading up to the February 2026 test. This low annual usage suggests the vehicle sits stationary for long periods, which often leads to age-related issues such as perished rubber components or brake caliper seizing despite the low mileage. While the most recent test showed no defects, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough physical inspection of structural integrity and suspension components. Honda Civics of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills, wheel arches, and rear subframe, which should be checked for bubbling paint or structural rot. Given the low annual mileage, a buyer should also inspect the condition of the brake hoses for cracking and check the suspension bushes for tearing, as these parts degrade through time rather than through mileage alone.
