2014 Honda Civic 1.6L Diesel · RF63 AFO

The current MOT status of this Honda Civic is clean and indicates a stable mechanical condition. The most recent test on 28 July 2025 at 173,438 miles resulted in a pass with zero recorded defects or advisories. This trend of clean passes extends back to February 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been subjected to consistent maintenance and that any necessary repairs were addressed promptly before the annual inspections. The vehicle has covered 173,438 miles over its twelve-year lifespan, averaging approximately 14,453 miles per annum. This reflects high-intensity usage, typical of a car used primarily for long-distance motorway commuting rather than short, stop-start urban cycles. The mileage accumulation remained steady between 2022 and 2023, though the gap between the February 2024 and August 2024 tests suggests a period of more intensive use or a change in ownership. Despite the high total mileage, the absence of recurring failure points in the history suggests the drivetrain has been managed effectively. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that often escape MOT scrutiny, specifically the clutch assembly and dual-mass flywheel, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. While the MOT history is clean, the age and distance covered mean that suspension bushes, ball joints, and shock absorbers may be nearing the end of their service life. Inspect the underside for any signs of surface corrosion on the subframes and brake lines, as these are common areas for degradation on older Civics. Confirm that the service history supports the MOT record, as a clean test does not account for internal engine wear or the condition of consumable items like timing chains or belts.
