2014 Honda Civic 1.6L Diesel · X66 RAD

The vehicle cleared the most recent MOT on 19 February 2026 at 78,661 miles, passing with advisory notes on front‑tyre tread approaching the legal limit and rear inner brake pads reported as thin. Over the past twelve years the record shows a pattern of isolated, consumable‑wear issues rather than escalating mechanical faults, indicating a generally stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 35,116 miles in July 2017 to 78,661 miles in February 2026, averaging roughly 6,500 miles per year – a figure consistent with typical private‑use patterns. The incremental increases between each annual test (e.g., 64,744 miles in February 2022 to 70,011 miles in February 2023) reveal no abrupt spikes that would suggest periods of intensive use or neglect. The data set is continuous, with no significant gaps, supporting the view that the vehicle has been driven regularly but without extreme mileage accumulation. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the tyre condition, confirming that tread depth on all four wheels exceeds the 1.6 mm minimum and that there is no edge‑wear or cracking, especially on the off‑side rear tyre flagged in February 2025. Inspection of the braking system is advisable: verify that the rear inner pads have been replaced or are still within safe limits, and ensure the brake pipe under the tray shows no corrosion, a defect that caused a failure in February 2021. A visual check of suspension components such as bushings and coil springs is prudent, as no explicit faults were recorded but wear can develop unnoticed. Finally, a brief examination for surface rust or structural damage will confirm that no hidden deterioration has arisen since the last MOT.
