2014 Honda Civic I-Vtec ES 1.8L Petrol · VJZ 3689

The 2014 Honda Civic i-VTEC ES presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 2 January 2026 at 119,170 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior tests on 11 January 2025 at 105,502 miles, 6 November 2023 at 88,505 miles, 3 October 2022 at 75,350 miles, and 5 February 2020 at 47,166 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories logged. The vehicle shows no recurring mechanical faults, corrosion concerns, or brake and suspension issues across its recorded history. Annual mileage averages 9,931 against the vehicle's twelve-year life, a typical figure for this age bracket. The records expose one pronounced gap: between the February 2020 test at 47,166 miles and the October 2022 test at 75,350 miles the car covered 28,184 miles in roughly thirty-two months, then slowed to steadier yearly increments of around 13,000 to 14,000 miles thereafter. No rapid accumulation or standing-still pattern appears in the later entries, and the clean pass sheet at every stage suggests the previous owners kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the unbroken pass record. The MOT system captures only test-day condition, so worn suspension bushes, fatigued coil springs, or early exhaust corrosion can evade detection between annual checks. Given the 119,170-mile total, examine brake disc thickness, tyre sidewall cracking, and underbody structural integrity for salt corrosion that a garage ramp reveals more clearly than a testing station pit. The absence of advisories across five tests implies disciplined upkeep rather than deferred faults, yet high-mileage Hondas of this generation merit scrutiny of the clutch, driveshaft gaiters, and steering rack rubbers. Verify service stamps against the odometer jumps, particularly the 2020 to 2022 interval, to confirm routine oil changes were not skipped during the higher-use phase.
