2003 Honda Civic 1.6L Petrol · SN03 ABA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though it is currently overdue for its annual inspection. The most recent recorded test on 25 October 2021 at 155,996 miles passed with no defects, indicating the car was in a good mechanical state at that time. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle has sat without a valid MOT for nearly five years, which necessitates an immediate inspection to assess the current state of rubber components and age-related degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between November 2018 and October 2021, the car covered 15,517 miles, showing a steady and predictable rate of use. The failure recorded in October 2020 at 149,397 miles was resolved quickly, as the vehicle retested just one month later at the same mileage and passed without further defects. This suggests the owner was proactive in addressing mechanical faults rather than allowing them to escalate. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as this generation of the Honda Civic is prone to corrosion that may worsen over time. Because the car has not been tested in several years, there is a high risk of perished hoses, seized brake calipers, and degraded suspension bushes that occur during long periods of inactivity. Inspect the tyres for sidew cracking and flat spots, as the low annual mileage often leads to age-related rubber failure rather than tread wear.
