2001 Honda Civic 1.4L Petrol · Y48 NJB

The 2001 Honda Civic presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean pass at the most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 97,986 miles. The maintenance trend is steady and shows no worsening faults across the available record. The tester recorded no defects at that examination, and the prior three annual tests also returned passes with no advisories noted. The odometer shows 97,986 miles against roughly 25 years of age, an average of about 3,919 miles per year. The car saw light use. Annual increments stayed modest: 74,519 miles on 8 November 2022, 77,723 on 21 November 2023, 88,184 on 27 November 2024, then 97,986 on 21 November 2025. A failed test on 7 November 2022 at 74,519 miles preceded the pass one day later, yet the record lists no defects for either entry, suggesting an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of neglected consumables or structural decline. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for age-related corrosion on subframes and sills, as the MOT entries never flagged structural integrity and long idle periods can hide rust. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for deterioration from low-mileage standing. Verify the 2022 failure cause with the test station, since the missing defect data leaves the reason unconfirmed.
