Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

31 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Honda Civic (RJ53 VZX) between September 2006 and September 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 10 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (31 issues), Suspension (20 issues), Brakes (10 issues), Windscreen (8 issues), Lighting (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 62 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint likely to become detached (5.3.4 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”.
