AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2001 Honda has 16 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 24,354 miles. While it has a long, consistent service history, the vehicle's age and recurring issues warrant significant caution.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 4,419 miles/year, with a significant 2017 MOT gap and inconsistent usage patterns, raising odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • Three MOT failures (Nov 2012, Nov 2014, Nov 2015) with no defect details, indicating unresolved issues.
  • No MOT recorded for 2017, a 5-year gap, suggesting potential SORN or unrecorded periods.
  • Extremely low annual mileage (4,419 mi/yr) for a 25-year-old vehicle, raising odometer fraud concerns.
  • The 1997 Honda Civic has a known head gasket and timing belt failure history, aligning with this car's recurring advisories.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage increases, despite being low, show regular use and maintenance.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating the vehicle has been roadworthy for the last few years.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2022 is a strong positive for a 25-year-old vehicle.
  • The 1997 Honda Civic is known for its long-term reliability and robust build quality.
