HONDA CIVIC2016 · 1.6L Diesel

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 October 2025 at 165,868 miles. While the record shows a technical failure on that same date, the lack of recorded defects on the subsequent pass suggests an administrative or minor issue that was rectified instantly. Since 2022, the car has consistently passed inspections without any advisories or failures, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 16,600 miles per annum. The data shows consistent accumulation of mileage, with a 15,000-mile interval between October 2022 and October 2023, and another 11,000-mile gap between October 2023 and September 2024. This high annual mileage typically suggests long-distance motorway driving, which generally places less strain on suspension bushes and brakes than frequent stop-and-start city driving. Given the clean MOT history despite the high mileage, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on wear-related items that the MOT test does not fully cover. Check the condition of the shock absorbers and control arm bushings for perished rubber, as these often degrade after the 150,000-mile mark. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear and examine the drivetrain for any signs of oil leaks or coolant loss, as these are common points of failure on high-mileage Honda Civic engines.
