2002 Honda Civic 1.4L Petrol · WA02 AFJ

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 23 September 2025 at 94,382 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical degradation over the last five years. The mileage is remarkably low for a 24 year old car, averaging roughly 3,933 miles per year. The record shows a steady, low-volume accumulation of miles, increasing from 85,029 in September 2021 to 94,382 in September 2025. This gradual increase suggests regular, light use rather than long periods of stagnation, which typically helps preserve rubber components and seals. Despite the clean MOT history, the age of the vehicle necessitates a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension. The DVSA tests often overlook slow-developing corrosion in non-structural areas or the hardening of rubber suspension bushes. A buyer should specifically check for surface rust on the sills and wheel arches, as well as the condition of the brake discs for pitting, which can occur even on low-mileage vehicles if they are not driven hard enough to clear oxidation. The absence of any advisories regarding tyre tread or brake wear across five consecutive tests is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage. It implies a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owner. A manual check of the fluid levels and a test of the electrical systems would complete the due diligence, as these elements are not always exhaustively tested during a standard MOT.
