2013 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · LT13 RCF

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition, demonstrating a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the several years. The most recent inspection in October 2023 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that any minor issues were identified and rectified immediately before the test, indicating an owner who is proactive about maintaining the car's safety and legal compliance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage noted; for instance, the car covered only 136 miles between February 2022 and October 2022, and roughly 1,160 miles over the course of the previous year. While this low mileage reduces general wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of the vehicle sitting stationary can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of components rather than way-related wear. Because the MOT history is clean of recurring structural or mechanical faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on items affected by lack of use. It is vital to check the rubber components, such as bushings and hoses, for signs of cracking or brittleness caused by age. Additionally, the brakes should be inspected for corrosion on the discs, as low-usage cars often suffer from surface rust buildup. The tyres should also be checked for their manufacture date rather than just tread depth, as old rubber hardens over time irrespective of mileage, which can impact grip.
