2013 Honda Civic 1.6L Diesel · NL13 ADV

This Honda Civic presents an exceptionally stable maintenance profile. The most recent MOT test on 22 May 2025 at 96,333 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of first-time passes without any advisories, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very low mechanical stress. The mileage reflects typical usage for a thirteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,410 miles per year. There is a notable increase in annual distance covered in recent years. Between June 2021 and May 2022, the car covered only 1,370 miles. However, the distance jumped to 16,781 miles between May 2022 and May 2023, and another 18,928 miles by May 2024. This shift indicates a change in usage patterns, moving from light city use or periods of standing to more regular or long-distance commuting. The absence of any recorded defects across five consecutive tests is rare for a vehicle of this age. The tester flagged no issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, nor was there any mention of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures. This suggests the previous owner prioritised preventative maintenance rather than reacting to failures. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the brake pads and tyre tread depths, as these consumables are often replaced between tests and would not appear as faults on a clean record. Checking for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay and inspecting the underside for surface rust remains prudent, though the MOT history provides no evidence of systemic mechanical neglect.
