2013 Honda Civic 1.6L Diesel · ND13 AVR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 107,326 miles passed, it flagged new issues including thin nearside rear brake pads, pitted front discs, and a non-excessive oil leak. This follows a period in late 2024 where the car failed due to multiple suspension and brake hose defects that were addressed shortly after the failure. At 107,326 miles over thirteen years, the car has averaged approximately 8,250 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family vehicle of this age. The data shows a significant surge in activity between November 2023 and November 2024, where the vehicle covered nearly 10,000 miles in twelve months. This increase in mileage likely correlates with the accelerated wear seen on rubber and metal components, specifically the deteriorated ball joint covers and worn brake components noted during the 2024 inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The record indicates that front suspension arm bushes and ball joint dust covers were previous points of failure; these should be checked for current signs of tearing or play. Furthermore, the recurring mention of pitted and scored brake discs across multiple years suggests the owner tends to replace components only when they reach a functional limit. The oil leak identified in the December 2025 test also requires a close look to determine if it is a minor seal weep or a more significant engine-related issue.
