Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle shows a pattern of intermittent mechanical failures regarding braking components, though the most recent test on 8 December 2025 suggests a period of relative stability following previous issues. While the 2025 test resulted in a pass, the tester flagged an advisory for a worn, pitted, or scored offside rear outer brake disc. This follows a failure in December 2024 where the vehicle was deemed dangerous due to both nearside and offside front brake pads being less than 1.5 mm thick. The recorded mileage of 46,768 miles for a 2017 model indicates an average annual usage of approximately 5,196 miles. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has seen light use over its nine-year lifespan. The MOT records do not show any significant gaps in testing, with annual inspections occurring consistently between 2020 and 2025. A prospective buyer should focus a physical inspection on the braking system. The history shows a recurring trend of brake pad depletion, specifically the dangerous failures noted in December 2021 and December 2024. Given the advisory for the pitted offside rear brake disc in the 2025 test, the condition of all four brake discs and the remaining thickness of the pads should be verified. The 2024 advisory regarding the offside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit also suggests that consumable items like tyres may require immediate replacement. Buying Score: 62 Risk Level: Medium.

Our Verdict

A solid purchase option with relatively

When inspecting this specific 2017 Civic, focus on the recent trend of consumable wear. The 2024 MOT failure highlighted issues with both front brake pads and a front tyre, while the 2025 MOT noted a worn offside rear brake disc. You should verify that these specific components have been replaced or are in good condition before committing to a purchase.

Ask the seller for evidence of recent servicing, particularly regarding the diesel engine's maintenance. Since the vehicle is a 1.6L diesel, ensure the timing belt/chain and DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) status are discussed, although these are not explicitly mentioned in the MOT history. Check the tyre tread depth across all four wheels to ensure they meet legal standards and aren't showing the edge-wear noted in the 2024 test.

As a 1597cc diesel, this Civic is designed for efficiency, typically offering strong fuel economy for long-distance driving. Being a 2017 model, it should comply with most modern emissions standards, though you should check specific local ULEZ/CAZ compliance for your area.

Maintenance costs for this model tend to be predictable, though the recent MOT history suggests you should budget for regular replacements of brake pads, discs, and tyres. Insurance groups for the Civic vary, so obtain a quote based on the specific registration. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and routine maintenance, fall in the mid-range for this engine type.

Direct your attention to the braking system. The MOT history specifically flags issues with nearside and offside front brake pads (2024) and a pitted/scored offside rear brake disc (2025). Physically inspect the discs for heavy scoring and ensure the pads have sufficient thickness.

Additionally, inspect the tyres closely. The 2024 MOT failure was due to an offside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge. Check all tyres for uneven wear patterns, which could indicate alignment issues. Finally, check the general condition of the grey paintwork and exterior trim to ensure no significant damage has occurred since its 2017 registration.

This 2017 grey Honda Civic 1.6 diesel shows a consistent MOT history with mileage that sits well below the model average. The vehicle has undergone five MOT tests, with the most recent being a pass at 46,768 miles. While there have been recent advisories and failures related to consumable components like tyres and brake pads, the overall record is relatively clean.

Aggregate data from over 328,000 vehicles shows a 78.2% MOT pass rate for this model, with common failures relating to brakes, tyres, and headlamps.
