2014 Honda Civic 1.6L Diesel · NJ64 ACZ

The most recent MOT on 29 September 2025 recorded a pass at 152,296 miles, with only a non‑functional registration lamp and a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit; the vehicle remains roadworthy but shows minor consumable wear. The overall maintenance trend is stable, as the car has passed every test since 2017 without any major mechanical failures, indicating consistent upkeep despite the recent tyre issue. Mileage has risen sharply relative to the car’s age, climbing from 39,514 miles in September 2017 to 152,296 miles by September 2025, an increase of 112,782 miles over eight years, or roughly 14,098 miles per year. The annual testing interval shows a steady accumulation of kilometres with no extended periods of inactivity evident in the record. A buyer should focus on the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear, inspect the rear brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, and verify that the tyre wear is limited to the rear edge rather than uneven tread wear. Particular attention is also required on the steering column universal joint, which exhibited slight play in 2021 and 2023, and on the oil leak noted in 2024, to ensure it is not progressing to an excessive level. Finally, the presence of a child seat that restricts adult belt inspection suggests the rear seat area should be examined for structural integrity and any potential rust.
