2013 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · ND13 AEM

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 8 July 2026 at 49,689 miles, confirming roadworthiness despite two suspension arm pin or bush advisories recorded under item 5.3.4 (a) (i). The maintenance trend remains largely stable, with the latest test showing only minor suspension wear rather than a cascade of failures. Mileage has increased at an average of roughly 3,800 miles per year since the 2016 test at 20,910 miles, but the pattern is not uniform; the jump from 2021 (37,462 miles) to 2022 (40,194 miles) added 2,732 miles in a single year, and the period from 2023 (42,719 miles) to 2024‑02‑20 (44,764 miles) saw a 2,045‑mile increase over five months, indicating periods of more intensive use interspersed with quieter intervals. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension components flagged in the latest test, checking the condition of the front arm pins and bushes for excessive play or binding, and inspect the rear tyre edge wear noted in the 2019 test, which suggests possible alignment or suspension issues that may have recurred. Additional inspection points include the braking system for binding rear calipers or worn discs, the condition of the exhaust for corrosion or cracks, and the structural integrity of the chassis for any rust that could compromise safety, as the record shows no major mechanical failures but does contain recurring wear items that merit close verification.
