2018 Honda Civic 1.6L Diesel · FH67 TYC

The 2018 Honda Civic presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a pass at its most recent MOT on 11 August 2025 at 116,647 miles. The record shows a failure and a pass logged on the same day at this exact mileage, indicating a minor defect was likely identified and rectified immediately before a retest. The absence of recorded defects in the final pass confirms the vehicle met the required structural and mechanical standards at that time. This same-day failure and pass pattern repeats from the previous year, suggesting the owner addresses issues promptly rather than neglecting them. The mileage accumulation aligns with high annual usage, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per year. Between the August 2023 test at 86,641 miles and the August 2024 test at 101,860 miles, the car covered 15,219 miles. The subsequent year saw a similar trajectory, adding 14,787 miles to reach 116,647 miles by August 2025. This consistent, high-mileage accumulation points to sustained motorway or long-distance commuting rather than short urban trips, which typically places different demands on the drivetrain and consumables. The MOT history is sparse, spanning only three years, but the recorded intervals show no alarming gaps in testing. Despite the clean MOT record, the high mileage demands a thorough physical inspection of wear components. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the brake discs and pads, as high-mileage driving often accelerates wear beyond what a single MOT snapshot captures. Suspension bushes and shock absorbers require careful scrutiny for deterioration, given the accumulated stress over 116,647 miles. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition warrant immediate attention, as does the exhaust system for any signs of corrosion or gas leaks. While the MOT history shows no structural rust or recurring mechanical failures, the sheer volume of miles covered necessitates verifying the integrity of the drivetrain and steering components before purchase.
