Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This 2013 Honda Civic has a high mileage count for its age, averaging over 12,000 miles per year. This indicates heavy use, which typically leads to accelerated wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The most recent MOT in June 2025 passed after an initial failure due to worn front tyres and incorrect headlamp aim. The previous year's test in June 2024 also required repairs for worn front and rear brake pads and lighting faults. The vehicle's condition trend appears stable but shows a pattern of neglecting basic consumables. The recurring failures for tyres and brake pads suggest a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a preventative one. Given the high mileage and the recent tyre wear issues, a buyer should first inspect the depth and evenness of all tyres to check for alignment problems. You should also carefully examine the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as the general state of the suspension components, to ensure they have been properly maintained despite the heavy usage.
