2006 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · FG56 XEM

The 2006 Honda Civic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 November 2025 at 132,335 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 6 December 2024 at 122,599 miles also showed a clean sheet. Two earlier failures in late 2023 and October 2024 were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle is currently in a sound tested condition. Recorded mileage sits at 132,335 against an age of nearly twenty years, averaging roughly 6,600 miles per year which is typical for the model. The gap between the 11 November 2023 test at 112,200 miles and the 6 December 2024 pass at 122,599 miles shows about 10,400 miles in thirteen months, a normal use rate. The October 2024 failure at 122,428 miles preceded the December pass at 122,599 miles by five weeks with only 171 miles added, suggesting the car was swiftly retested after a non-mechanical rejection. The history is sparse and clean on wear items. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm component life remaining. Structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants checks for corrosion, a common Civic fault by this age. The two defect-free failures mean no recurring mechanical trend exists, but the lack of recorded advisories across the record implies previous owners addressed issues before test rather than relying on pass margins.
