2016 Honda Civic 1.6L Diesel · RV66 DFK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-10 at 52,665 miles resulted in a pass, indicating current roadworthiness. However, the same test date also recorded a failure, suggesting a possible retest or unresolved issue at that time. Prior tests from 2022 to 2024 all passed without defects, showing a stable maintenance trend with no recurring mechanical or structural faults flagged. The consistency of passes over five years implies the vehicle has been adequately maintained, though the 2025 failure warrants further scrutiny. The mileage of 52,665 miles aligns with an average annual usage of approximately 5,266 miles, which is low for a 10-year-old vehicle. This could indicate periods of inactivity or light use, as the recorded growth from 33,353 miles in 2022 to 52,665 in 2025 shows a steady but gradual increase. There are no abrupt mileage jumps or gaps in the data, suggesting the car was used regularly without significant neglect. The low mileage may reduce wear on high-stress components but could also mean less exposure to varied driving conditions that might otherwise reveal hidden issues. Given the absence of recorded defects, the buyer should focus on components prone to gradual deterioration. Inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or corrosion, as these can degrade without immediate MOT implications. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for binding or uneven wear, even if no MOT faults were logged. Additionally, examine the exhaust system and undercarriage for rust, particularly around wheel arches and suspension mounts, which may not be evident in standard MOT tests. A test drive focusing on braking response and steering stability will help identify latent mechanical risks not captured in the records.
