2006 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · WG56 AEZ

The vehicle holds a currently roadworthy status with the most recent DVSA test on 25 July 2025 at 167330 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend stays stable across the available history as every pass from 21 July 2023 through 17 July 2024 and the 2025 test documented zero advisories or faults. The DVSA record shows two anomalous failures on 21 July 2023 and 15 July 2024 at mileages closely matching subsequent passes on the same day or two days later, both citing no defects. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues rather than worsening mechanical condition. At approximately twenty years old the Civic shows recorded mileages of 136412 in July 2023, 148209 in July 2024 and 167330 in July 2025. The annual increments of 11797 and 19121 miles exceed the roughly 8366 miles per year average for its age, indicating a period of above average use in the last two years rather than long standing. The test cadence remains strictly annual with no intermediate entries, leaving sparse but consistent documentation of odometer progression. No recurring mechanical faults or structural advisories appear in the official record, so the history alone does not flag specific component failures such as worn suspension bushes, binding calipers or corroded subframes. A buyer should commission an in-person inspection of age-sensitive items on this 2006 hatchback, covering front coil springs, brake disc thickness, exhaust emissions compliance and underbody structural integrity for corrosion. The unexplained fail entries without recorded defects warrant a direct check of DVSA failure reasons to rule out overlooked minor items like lamp aim or tyre condition. The clean pass record with no advisories implies previous keepers addressed routine maintenance to a basic standard, yet the clustered fail-pass pairs on near identical dates reduce confidence in the thoroughness of those presentations. Given the higher recent mileage, expect consumable wear consistent with that usage and verify service history against the MOT printouts.
