2013 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · HD62 BJO

The 2013 Honda Civic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 December 2025 at 89,916 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests from December 2022 to December 2024 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 6 December 2023 at 83,118 miles is anomalous: the vehicle failed on that date yet the record shows no defects, and it passed again the same day at identical mileage, indicating an administrative or process error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,900 miles, in line with typical use for a 13-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 77,795 miles in December 2022, 83,118 in December 2023, 86,394 in December 2024, and 89,916 in December 2025. The gap between the December 2023 failure and pass on the same day is the only irregularity; otherwise the history is sparse and clean, with no advisories logged across any test for tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unbroken pass record. The absence of advisories does not rule out worn coil springs, degraded suspension bushes, or early structural rust hidden from the tester's view. Given the car's age, check brake disc thickness and caliper operation, examine subframes and sills for corrosion, and verify the timing chain and drivetrain show no slack or excessive noise. The clean MOT lineage suggests previous owners kept basic statutory testing current, though the lack of recorded advisories means consumable wear was likely addressed outside the test regime. The December 2023 duplicate entry warrants a V5C and full service-history check to confirm no suppressed defect history.
