2013 Honda Civic 1.6L Diesel · SW63 ABN

The 2026‑02‑26 MOT at 68,442 miles records a pass, confirming the vehicle remains roadworthy despite noted defects. The tester flagged slight corrosion on the near‑side and off‑side rear brake hoses at the ferrules, corrosion on the rear suspension component mounting area and on both front lower suspension arms, and corrosion on the rear axle beam, with the off‑side beam image described as poor. No major mechanical failures were recorded since the 2024‑02‑13 test, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen steadily from 18,364 miles in September 2016 to 68,442 miles in February 2026, averaging about 5,265 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 13‑year age and suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing. The interval between the 2024‑02‑26 failure at 56,306 miles and the 2025‑02‑13 pass at 60,760 miles shows a typical annual increase of roughly 4,450 miles, and the subsequent 2026 test adds another 7,682 miles, confirming consistent usage without extended idle intervals. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear suspension mounting and axle beam for excessive rust, examine the front lower suspension arms for signs of weakening, verify the condition of the brake hoses and ferrules for corrosion, assess the wear on the brake discs and pads, and check tyre tread depth, sidewall perishing and any cuts that reach the ply, while also confirming the coil spring integrity and overall structural chassis soundness.
