2013 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · FG13 ABO

The 2013 Honda Civic presents a fully roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 11 February 2026 at 171,423 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five successive annual examinations from March 2022 to February 2026, the vehicle cleared every assessment without a single advisory or failure. This consistent clean sheet indicates the previous keepers addressed any wear before each test date. The odometer shows 171,423 miles against a 13-year lifespan, equating to roughly 13,186 miles per year and placing the car above average use for its age. Mileage progressed steadily: 141,695 miles on 22 March 2022, 148,766 on 20 March 2023, 157,117 on 16 February 2024, 162,466 on 10 February 2025, and 171,423 on 11 February 2026. No abrupt gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the yearly increments sit between 6,000 and 9,000 miles. The sparse but unbroken record suggests disciplined servicing rather than neglected storage. Despite the absence of flagged defects, a buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of high-stress components given the mileage. The tester recorded no corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, or brake disc wear in the official history, yet components at this age often degrade silently between tests. We recommend scrutinising subframe integrity, exhaust emissions under load, and front suspension arms for play. Prior owners clearly upheld basic upkeep, as failing to address tyres or wiper blades would have generated minor advisories that never materialised. The Civic's structural and mechanical record remains sound, but physical verification of drivetrain condition and underbody rust remains prudent before purchase.
