2013 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · FE63 VFX

The 2013 Honda Civic presents a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 5 July 2025 at 79,556 miles passed with zero defects, marking three consecutive clean certificates. The only advisory in the entire five-year record was a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit on 12 July 2022 at 63,035 miles. That minor wear item was clearly addressed promptly, and no tyre or braking defects have reappeared since. This pattern suggests attentive ownership and consistent basic upkeep. The vehicle has covered roughly 6,120 miles per year, which is typical for a 13-year-old family hatchback. Mileage accumulation has remained steady, with no sudden jumps or suspicious gaps between annual tests. The recorded mileages climb from 58,646 in July 2021 to 79,556 in July 2025, averaging approximately 5,228 miles per annum over that four-year window. No long periods of inactivity are evident from the record. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still inspect the underside for corrosion, paying particular attention to suspension mounting points, brake lines, and the exhaust system, as these areas commonly deteriorate on vehicles of this age regardless of MOT outcomes. The front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers deserve a thorough check given the typical wear profile at nearly 80,000 miles. Brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining life, even though no binding or wear defects have been flagged. The nearside rear tyre wear noted in 2022 could point to a minor alignment or tracking issue, so a four-wheel geometry check remains worthwhile. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear patterns across all four corners, and confirm the spare tyre condition if fitted.
