2002 Honda Civic 2.0L Petrol · WA02 AEU

This 2002 Honda Civic presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 9 April 2025 at 96,310 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical degradation. The mileage is notably low for a twenty-four year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,013 miles per year. The odometer readings show a steady, low-volume increase, moving from 90,487 miles in December 2021 to 96,310 miles in April 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest prolonged periods of standing or undisclosed heavy use. The record is unusually devoid of advisories. While the lack of flagged issues regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions is positive, a buyer should remain vigilant. Vehicles with very low annual mileage often suffer from perished rubber components or seized brake calipers due to underuse. The single failure on 19 November 2021 was resolved within two weeks, though the record does not specify the fault. A physical inspection should focus on structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and chassis rails, as these are common failure points for this era of Civic that may not be immediately apparent between tests. Check for tyre perishing and oil leaks that can develop when a car is not driven frequently. Given the clean MOT history, the mechanical integrity appears sound, but the age of the vehicle makes a manual check for rust and fluid leaks essential.
