2006 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · WF56 AED

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-04 at 158,661 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, prior tests in 2024-05-16 and 2023-05-17 show conflicting outcomes—both a pass and a fail on the same date and mileage, with no defects noted. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unresolved issues that were later rectified. The absence of recorded defects in the latest test implies no immediate safety risks, but the repeated failures without recorded faults raise questions about the reliability of the maintenance history. The vehicle’s mileage of 158,661 miles over 20 years equates to an average of 7,933 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. However, the period between 2023-05-17 and 2024-05-16 saw a 4,545-mile increase, followed by a 4,889-mile rise by 2025-12-04. These figures suggest consistent, moderate usage rather than rapid accumulation, reducing immediate wear concerns. The sparse defect records, however, limit insight into long-term maintenance patterns. A buyer should verify if the car was stored for extended periods, as low mileage can mask issues like seized components or battery degradation. The MOT history does not flag structural, suspension, or braking system faults, but the repeated failures without recorded defects warrant scrutiny. A physical inspection should focus on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition, as these components often degrade over time without immediate warning. Corrosion checks, particularly under the chassis, are critical given the vehicle’s age. Additionally, the absence of tyre tread or wiper blade issues in the records implies routine checks were conducted, but a closer look at the tyres’ age and condition is advisable to confirm compliance with legal standards.
