How many miles does a 2001–2005 Honda Civic last?
On the 2001–2005 Honda Civic, half of the 2,109 complaints that record an odometer reading were filed by 87,000 miles and 90% by 162,000 miles (why that is not a lifespan).
298 reports came in past 150,000 miles and 85 past 200,000 — each one proof that a Civic reached that mileage, not that it failed there.

Known problems with the 2001–2005 Civic
Transmission 2001–2005
Automatic transmission failure - torque converter lock-up clutch judder progressing to slipping and complete loss of drive. Honda extended the automatic transmission warranty on affected 2001-2002 Civics to 7 years / 100,000 miles.
Airbags (Takata Inflator) 2001–2005
Takata ammonium-nitrate inflators on 2001-2003 Civics are among the highest-risk 'Alpha' population, with a documented rupture rate high enough that NHTSA and Honda issued do-not-drive advisories. Inflator rupture propels metal fragments into the cabin.
Engine Mounts 2001–2005
Front and rear engine mount collapse causing vibration at idle and driveline clunk; a routine failure item on this generation.
