2013 Honda Civic I-Dtec EX 1.6L Diesel · EXZ 4022

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate from the April 2025 test at 197,983 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. The history shows a remarkably clean record with no recorded defects or advisories across the last five examinations. This suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard or that components have been replaced proactively before reaching the point of failure during testing. The high mileage of 197,983 over thirteen years averages approximately 15,230 miles per annum, confirming consistent long-distance use rather than short, stop-start journeys. A notable gap appears between May 2019 and December 2021, where the vehicle covered roughly 49,000 miles, followed by a period of intensive use between 2022 and 2025. The entry of zero miles recorded in March 2024 is likely a clerical error at the testing station, yet the subsequent pass in 2025 confirms the vehicle remained operational and compliant. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the drivetrain and suspension components, as the high mileage will have accelerated wear on items not always captured by the MOT test. Check the clutch operation and dual-mass flywheel for signs of chatter or slipping, as these are common failure points on high-mileage i-DTEC engines. Inspect the underside for any signs of surface corrosion on the subframes and fuel lines, and verify that the turbocharger exhibits no excessive shaft play or oil leaks. While the MOT history is clean, the age and mileage necessitate a thorough check of the service history to ensure the timing chain and auxiliary belts have been replaced in accordance with the manufacturer schedule.
