2014 Honda Civic 1.6L Diesel · AN56 GDN

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in August 2025 at 93,664 miles resulted in a pass but flagged a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This indicates that while the vehicle is mechanically sound enough to pass, consumable components are reaching the end of their service life following a period of clean records in the preceding two years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the car covered 18,736 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 6,200 miles annually during that interval. There are no significant gaps in the testing to suggest the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, which is beneficial for maintaining the integrity of rubber seals and fluids, despite the 2023 retest following a minor mechanical failure. A buyer should inspect the braking system thoroughly, as the failure in August 2023 at 80,965 miles due to thin rear brake pads suggests that the previous owner only replaced components once they failed inspection. The uneven wear noted on the nearside rear tyre in 2025 warrants a check of the wheel alignment and an inspection for worn suspension bushes or a damaged trailing arm. Given the age of this Honda Civic, a physical inspection for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is also essential, as these areas have not yet appeared in the MOT history but are common for this model.
