2013 Honda Civic 1.8L Petrol · LR13 CZZ

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent test in April 2025 at 34,707 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding cracked mirror glass, which does not impact safety or structural integrity. This follows a clean result in 2024, suggesting that the primary mechanical components have been maintained despite the vehicle's age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old car, averaging approximately 2,670 miles per year. There is a significant four-year gap between the 2019 and 2023 tests where the car covered only 784 miles. Since 2023, usage has increased slightly, with 8,192 miles recorded in the following two years. While the low annual mileage generally means less wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based components and fluid breakdown due to periods of inactivity rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the tyres and rubber components, as the history indicates issues. The 2024 test flagged a ten-year-old offside front tyre, highlighting that low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related tyre dry rot regardless of tread depth. The 2019 record also noted thin brake pads and uneven tyre wear, suggesting that the vehicle may have experienced alignment issues or neglected brake maintenance during those intervals. Given the long gaps between use, check the chassis for surface corrosion and inspect the suspension bushes for signs of cracking or seized calipers, which are common in cars that sit stationary for extended periods.
