Expert automotive synthesis from historical MOT defect records and market benchmarks.
Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise the investigation of the exhaust system. The February 2024 failure for emissions exceeding limits and fumes entering the cabin is a significant point for a diesel of this age; request documentation to see if the DPF was cleaned or the EGR valve replaced.
Verify the service history specifically for oil change intervals. High-mileage diesel engines require strict adherence to service schedules to avoid premature wear. Negotiate the price based on the age of the tyres and the likelihood of needing further suspension work, given the repeated advisories.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for high-mileage drivers. However, as a 2013 model, it will fall into a tax bracket based on its original CO2 emissions, and insurance groups for the Civic are typically mid-range.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this vehicle due to its mileage. Expect to budget for the replacement of wearing components like suspension bushings and track rod ends, which have appeared repeatedly in the MOT records.
Focus heavily on the front suspension. The MOT history shows a pattern of issues from September 2023 through February 2026, specifically regarding lower suspension arm bushes and track rod end dust covers. A physical inspection should check for any current play or deterioration in these joints.
Inspect the exhaust system for leaks or signs of soot around the joints, referencing the 2024 failure for cabin fumes. Additionally, check the tread depth and condition of the rear tyres, as these were noted as being close to the legal limit in February 2025.
This grey 2013 Honda Civic diesel has recorded 127,536 miles, which is above the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history is marked by a failure in February 2024 involving exhaust emissions and suspension components, as well as ongoing advisories regarding dust covers and tyre wear.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 78.1%, with common failure points typically being tyres, brake pads, and headlamps.
