2014 Honda Civic I-Vtec S 1.3L Petrol · IRZ 3013

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 21 January 2026 at 116,971 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend over the past three tests is stable, with consecutive passes in January 2025 and January 2026 showing consistent upkeep. A failure noted on 9 December 2024 at 101,411 miles was followed by a successful retest, suggesting the issue was resolved promptly. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age. Over roughly 12 years, the Honda has covered 116,971 miles, averaging approximately 9,748 miles annually, which is typical for a Civic of this vintage. The gap between the September 2023 test at 71,718 miles and the December 2024 failure at 101,411 miles indicates steady usage of roughly 29,693 miles in just over a year, a reasonable pace without signs of harsh or excessive use. Given the clean recent record, attention should focus on components subject to gradual wear. Inspect the front and rear brake discs and pads for uneven wear or scoring, particularly if the December 2024 failure involved braking performance. Check the suspension struts, coil springs, and lower wishbone bushes for cracking or oil leakage, common on higher-mileage Civics. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion at the rear silencer and front pipes, and verify that all lights, including the rear fog and side repeaters, function correctly.
