Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a we
When viewing this specific NJ63NCA registration, prioritize checking the resolution of the ABS and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) faults noted in the October 2025 failure. Ensure that the electronic warning lamps are no longer illuminated on the dashboard.
Given the recent advisories regarding tyre wear and brake pads, you should negotiate based on the immediate need for replacement consumables. Check the service history to see if the 1.8L petrol engine has had regular oil changes, as this is vital for long-term reliability in Honda engines. Ask for proof that the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) malfunction reported in 2025 has been rectified.
The 1798cc petrol engine is a standard choice for this model, typically offering a balance of performance and economy. You should expect moderate fuel consumption suitable for mixed driving.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2013 Civic vary depending on specific trim levels, but it generally sits in a mid-range bracket. Maintenance costs will likely be influenced by the wear-and-tear items seen in the MOT history, such as tyres and brake pads, which are common maintenance requirements for this model.
Focus heavily on the tyres and braking system. The October 2025 MOT recorded both front tyres being worn close to the legal limit, with the offside front showing significant inner edge wear, which could indicate an alignment issue. Inspect the rear brake pads, as they were flagged as wearing thin.
Additionally, verify that the windscreen wiper blade on the nearside front has been replaced, as it was recorded as defective and insecure. Finally, confirm that the ABS and stability control systems are fully operational to ensure the electronic faults recorded in the 2025 failure have been professionally addressed.
This 2013 brown Honda Civic 1.8 i-VTEC has covered 64,494 miles, which is slightly above the model average of 6,579 miles per year. The MOT history shows a period of clean passes between 2022 and 2024, followed by a failure in October 2025 due to ABS, stability control, and tyre issues. Despite the recent technical faults, the vehicle has maintained a consistent testing pattern.
The Honda Civic shows a 78.1% average MOT pass rate across 328,820 analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to tyres, brake pads, and headlamps.
