2013 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · FH13 NHJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding braking component condition. The most recent test conducted in March 2026 at 95,872 miles flagged the front brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. This follows a previous advisory from February 2025 at 91,642 miles, where the same components were noted as being worn. While the car consistently passes its tests, the progressive degradation of the front rotors suggests a lack of proactive component replacement. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,375 miles per year. Between February 2024 and March 2026, the car covered 7,681 miles, indicating a steady and typical rate of use. There is a notable gap in records between the March 2023 test and the February 2024 test, during which only 3,232 miles were recorded. This suggests periods of lower usage which can lead to the corrosion seen on exposed metal surfaces like the brake discs. A buyer must closely inspect the front brake assembly in person to determine if the pitting and scoring have reached a point where they affect braking performance or vibration. The recurring issues with the offside rear light lens and reflector indicate minor impact damage that the previous owner only addressed upon the next test cycle. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection should also check for structural corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points, as the MOT record typically ignores surface rust until it compromises structural integrity.
