2012 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · RE62 KPA

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history in its most recent inspections. The July 2025 test at 145,547 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating the vehicle was in a roadworthy condition at that time. This follows a successful retest in August 2024, which corrected a failure noted during the same session at 127,737 miles. The absence of recurring advisories for suspension components, brake wear, or emissions over the last several years suggests a consistent approach to upkeep. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,396 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 105,762 miles in July 2022 to 145,547 miles in July 2025. This steady usage pattern avoids the potential pitfalls of long periods of standing, which can lead to perished rubber seals or seized calipers, and avoids the excessive wear associated with high-mileage commercial use. The data shows a predictable and linear increase in odometer readings. While the MOT history is clean, the current mileage of 145,547 miles necessitates a physical inspection of high-wear items that the MOT does not always capture in detail. A buyer should specifically examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often show fatigue around this mileage mark. It is also prudent to check the brake discs for uneven wear or scoring and inspect the underside for any signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and exhaust hangers. The single failure recorded in August 2024 suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified promptly. Given the vehicle has passed all subsequent tests without advisory notes regarding tyre tread or wiper blades, the general upkeep appears reliable. Focus your inspection on the service history to ensure oil changes and fluid flushes have been performed regularly to support the longevity of the engine and drivetrain.
