2013 Honda Civic 1.6L Diesel · AF63 USM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history indicates a trend of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 138,086 miles passed, it followed a failure just eleven days prior at 137,984 miles. This failure highlighted multiple safety-critical issues, including a tyre below the legal limit, reduced headlamp intensity, and a defective wiper. The rapid rectification of these faults suggests the owner addresses issues only when forced by a test failure rather than monitoring wear items between service intervals. At 138,086 miles over 13 years, the Civic averages approximately 10,600 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 7,800 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 7,000 miles covered between March 2025 and March 2026. This steady mileage is generally positive for mechanical components, but it places a consistent load on the suspension bushings and braking system. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyres, as the record shows a recurring pattern of tyres worn to the legal limit or unevenly across the 2024 and 2025 tests. This suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension components that have not yet been addressed. The March 2026 failure regarding headlamp intensity and a defective wiper blade also indicates that electrical components and external fitments are beginning to suffer from neglect. Given the age and mileage, a thorough inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion is essential, as the record does not explicitly detail structural integrity beyond the standard pass results.
