2016 Honda Civic 1.6L Diesel · FV65 AEY

The vehicle holds a valid roadworthy status following the most recent DVSA test on 7 February 2026 at 167,530 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with passes logged at each annual interval and no advisories raised. A curious entry shows a failure on 8 February 2025 at 147,332 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same date and mileage; this points to an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical defect. Odometer readings chart a high but consistent usage pattern for a 2016 model. The car travelled 117,645 miles by 26 January 2023, rose to 131,056 miles at the 10 January 2024 test, then 147,332 miles in February 2025, and reached 167,530 miles by February 2026. That equates to roughly 15,000 to 20,000 miles per year with no dormant periods. The clean slate of passes suggests previous keepers met statutory minimums, yet the elevated distance accelerates wear on suspension, brakes, and drivetrain parts not always surfaced by MOT inspections. Prospective buyers should commission a physical check of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, and subframe corrosion given the mileage accrued. The records show no structural integrity or exhaust emissions failures, but high annual load can obscure creeping degradation in mounts and bushes. Verify the twin February 2025 test entries via official channel, and examine tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody rust that a no-defect pass does not document.
