2018 Honda Civic 1.6L Diesel · FY68 PDU

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 15 October 2025 at 101,115 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a curious failure just one day prior at 101,084 miles. While the record shows no specific defects for that failure, it suggests an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately. Since the 2022 test, the car has maintained a clean record sheet, indicating that the core mechanical and structural integrity has remained consistent. At 101,115 miles over eight years, this Honda Civic has averaged approximately 12,600 miles per year, which sits above the national average for a passenger vehicle. This higher mileage typically accelerates the wear on consumable components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 14,000 miles driven between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 13,700 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This regular usage often means the vehicle has not suffered from the seized components or perished seals associated with long periods of standing, though it places higher demand on the drivetrain. The lack of advisories across the last four years of testing suggests that the previous owners addressed maintenance needs before they became MOT failure points. However, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the lower suspension arms and shock absorbers, as high-mileage vehicles often show rubber degradation in these areas. The absence of any recorded structural corrosion or exhaust emission failures is a positive indicator of a well-maintained engine and chassis system despite the high mileage.
