2004 Honda Civic 1.6L Petrol · OY54 VGR

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent test on 17 November 2025 at 154,457 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This immediate rectification suggests a minor compliance issue that was promptly resolved prior to the retest, indicating the owner is willing to address MOT failures to keep the car legal. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 123,271 miles and November 2025 at 154,457 miles, the car covered 31,186 miles, which represents a steady usage profile. The 13,701-mile gap between the June 2023 and July 2024 tests shows a slight increase in annual use, which helps mitigate the degradation of fluid degradation and rubber components associated with long periods of standing. Given the clean history of the advisories in the recorded tests, a physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity common to this generation of Honda Civic. Check the underbody for corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, where rust often develops before triggering an MOT failure. You should also examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as the mileage suggests these components nearing the end of their typical service life despite the lack of recorded faults.
