AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2005 Honda Civic is currently roadworthy, as confirmed by the May 2025 MOT at 121,981 miles, which recorded no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record after the February 2023 failure was rectified. With 121,981 miles recorded after 21 years, the vehicle averages only 5,809 miles per year, far below typical usage for its age, and the mileage has risen modestly from 118,161 miles in February 2022 to 121,873 miles in February 2023 (1,712 miles in one year) before adding just 108 miles by May 2025, showing consistent low annual accumulation. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify the integrity of the brake discs and calipers for any scoring or binding, inspect the chassis and wheel arches for rust that could compromise structural integrity, and check the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks. Overall, the vehicle presents a low‑mileage, well‑maintained example with no recorded defects, but a thorough physical inspection of suspension, braking and corrosion points remains essential before purchase.
