2014 Honda Civic 1.6L Diesel · GL64 AEA

The 2014 Honda Civic presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 27 November 2025 at 143,706 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, though the record shows a failed test on 26 November 2025 at the same mileage with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or presentation fault rather than a mechanical failure. A prior failed test on 30 October 2023 at 122,676 miles also carried no defects, reinforcing that these were procedural rejections rather than wear-related condemnations. Annual mileage averages close to 11,976 across the vehicle's twelve years, a typical figure for the age. The gap between the 30 October 2023 test at 122,676 miles and the 26 November 2024 test at 133,261 miles shows roughly 10,585 miles covered in that period. From November 2024 to November 2025 the car added 10,445 miles to reach 143,706. The data is sparse, with only four pass outcomes and two defect-free failures logged, so no consumable or structural deterioration is evidenced in the official record. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car's mileage and the absence of any advisory notes in the history. The lack of recorded advisories at 143,706 miles is unusual for a vehicle of this age and distance, implying either rigorous upkeep or that the tester did not flag minor wear. Examine the underside for corrosion and check exhaust emissions against current limits during any pre-purchase assessment. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pattern at both 30 October 2023 and 26 to 27 November 2025 points to owner diligence in correcting paperwork promptly rather than neglected maintenance. Previous keepers appear to have kept the Civic to a standard that avoided mechanical advisories, but physical verification of tyre tread depth and wiper condition remains sensible given these items are consumable and unmentioned in the record.
