2014 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · WU64 GDV

The 2014 Honda Civic has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests spanning August 2022 to August 2025. The most recent inspection on 27 August 2025—just over a year ago—confirmed the vehicle’s compliance with current roadworthiness standards at 78,691 miles. This consistency suggests that major mechanical failures have been avoided, though the absence of advisories or minor faults in the record does not preclude hidden wear. The double entry for August 2023, where the vehicle passed twice on the same day, appears anomalous and may indicate a procedural oversight rather than a mechanical issue. The recorded mileage of 78,691 miles over 12 years equates to an average of approximately 6,558 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in the MOT cycle, as each test occurred within the standard 12-month window. The progression from 49,729 miles in August 2022 to 78,691 miles in August 2025 reflects steady usage without abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could have accelerated wear on components like suspension bushes or brake calipers. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely tested in an MOT. Focus on the suspension—particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and dampers—for signs of uneven sagging or excessive play. The braking system, while not flagged in past tests, warrants scrutiny: check for uneven disc thickness, binding calipers, or corrosion on brake lines, as these issues often develop incrementally. Examine the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the exhaust system, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediate MOT consequences. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive noise, as emissions-related faults are not always captured in a standard MOT unless they directly affect roadworthiness.
