2013 Honda Civic 1.6L Diesel · LC13 ABV

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passes over the last decade. The most recent test on 6 May 2026 at 103,625 miles resulted in a failure due to incorrect offside headlamp aim, though this was rectified immediately to secure a pass. Prior to this, the car achieved five consecutive years with no recorded defects, suggesting that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained well-maintained by previous owners. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between May 2021 at 77,198 miles and May 2026 at 103,625 miles, the car covered 26,427 miles at a steady rate. This low usage profile indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary which often cause dry-related degradation of rubber components, nor excessive wear associated with high-intensity motorway commuting. A buyer should focus on the headlamp alignment in person to ensure the recent failure was properly corrected, as this is a recurring issue having previously appeared on the nearside in 2021. While the MOT record is clean of advisories regarding structural corrosion or brake components, the age of the vehicle warrants a check of suspension bushes and coil springs, which can perish regardless of mileage. The lack of any reported mechanical failures or emission issues suggests the drivetrain remains in good condition, provided the service history matches the MOT intervals.
