2014 Honda Civic 1.6L Diesel · SM08 POM

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 9 April 2025 at 136,387 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This record suggests that the previous owners were proactive regarding vehicle upkeep, avoiding the recurring mechanical failures that typically appear in cars of this age. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per annum. Between March 2021 and April 2025, the vehicle covered 49,937 miles, showing a steady usage pattern without extreme periods of neglect or sudden heavy strain. The gap of 12,247 miles between the February 2023 and April 2024 tests aligns with the overall annual average, suggesting the car has been used for regular commuting which often helps maintain the integrity of seals and prevents the degradation of components associated with long stationary periods. While the MOT record is clear of structural or mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on high-mileage components common to 136,000-mile vehicles. The buyer should verify the condition of the suspension arm bushes and coil springs, as these often perish at this stage before failing an MOT test. Given the clean history, checking the brake discs for uneven wear or the calipers for slight binding is also advisable to ensure the mechanical performance matches the documented history.
