2013 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · GF13 LDU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. The most recent MOT test on 30 August 2025 at 126,470 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a clean pass in August 2024 at 120,881 miles. This recent history suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high standard, moving away from the more frequent failures seen in its earlier years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. The record shows steady usage without significant periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes. Between May 2019 and October 2020, the vehicle covered roughly 15,000 miles, and the progression from 100,241 miles in 2020 to 126,470 miles in 2025 demonstrates a predictable and manageable driving pattern. While the recent results are clean, the historical data indicates a pattern of deferred maintenance regarding consumables. The tester flagged multiple tyre failures between 2016 and 2021, including structural issues like sidewall cuts and lumps, alongside several instances of tyres being worn to the legal limit. Brake pad wear also appeared as a recurring issue, with failures noted in May 2016, May 2019, and an advisory for thin pads in August 2023. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyre condition and tread depth to ensure the current owner is not repeating previous neglect. Although no structural corrosion or suspension component failures were recorded, the history of brake pad wear warrants a close examination of the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers would also be prudent given the vehicle's age and mileage.
