Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for buyers se
When inspecting this 1.6L diesel Civic, focus on the service history to see how the timing belt and water pump intervals have been managed, as these are critical for this engine type. Given the mileage is over 112,000, check for any signs of clutch wear or dual-mass flywheel vibration, which are common considerations for high-mileage diesel hatchbacks.
Negotiate based on the upcoming service requirements. While the MOT history is clean, you should verify if the recent passes were accompanied by regular oil changes, as diesel engines require strict maintenance to prevent DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) issues. Ask for evidence of any recent brake or tyre replacements, as these are statistically the most common failure points for this model.
The 1597cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for long-distance commuting. Fuel economy should be relatively high, though this will depend on your driving style and whether the vehicle is used for short urban trips or motorway runs.
Insurance groups for the 2013 Civic vary, but typically sit in the mid-range. Maintenance costs for Honda models are generally predictable, but at this mileage, you should budget for wear-and-tear items such as suspension components and exhaust system checks. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are approximately £1,400-£1,700.
Direct your inspection toward the braking system and tyres, as the aggregate data for this model indicates these are the most frequent MOT failure reasons. Check the tread depth on all tyres and look for any uneven wear that might suggest suspension issues.
Additionally, inspect the headlamps for clarity and functionality, as headlamp failures are a top reason for MOT failures in the wider Civic data set. Given the 112,187 recorded mileage, also check for any leaks around the engine bay and ensure the diesel exhaust system shows no signs of excessive corrosion.
This 2013 grey Honda Civic features a 1.6L diesel engine and has covered 112,187 miles as of its last MOT in June 2025. The MOT history shows four consecutive passes without any recorded defects since 2022, which is notable for a vehicle of this age. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 6,578 per year, the recent testing history suggests a period of consistent compliance.
The Honda Civic shows a 78.2% average MOT pass rate across 328,313 analysed vehicles, with common failures related to consumables like brakes and tyres.
