2014 Honda Civic 1.6L Diesel · PE64 GXZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the September 2025 MOT, passing at 87,128 miles, but the emergence of tyre damage and rear‑brake binding indicates a modest decline from the defect‑free period of 2017‑2024. The recent test flags slightly damaged rear tyres and a binding condition on both rear service brakes, suggesting a shift from the previously stable maintenance record. Mileage has risen from 30,696 miles in September 2017 to 87,128 miles in September 2025, averaging roughly 7,300 miles per year. This progression aligns with typical usage for a twelve‑year‑old Honda Civic and shows no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps between tests. The consistent annual testing cadence further implies regular MOT compliance by previous owners. A prospective buyer should give close attention to the rear tyre condition, confirming that sidewall cracking and tread wear are within safe limits and that any perishing material is addressed before further use. The rear‑brake binding noted in the 2025 test warrants a hands‑on brake feel assessment and, if necessary, a check of brake caliper operation, disc wear, and hydraulic integrity. While no suspension or structural advisories appear in the record, a visual inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and chassis for corrosion remains prudent, as hidden wear can develop between MOT intervals.
