2013 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · TSV 184

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 10 October 2025 at 23,633 miles passed with a minor advisory regarding a cut on the nearside rear tyre. This follows several years of clean records from 2022 through 2024, indicating that the vehicle has not suffered significant mechanical or structural failures during its inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,818 miles per year. Between July 2021 and October 2022, the car covered only 46 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary storage or very limited use. Since the 2023 test at 12,639 miles, the mileage has increased by roughly 5,500 miles annually over the next two years. While this suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid related issues. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of components affected by long-term sitting rather than high-mileage wear. Check for cracking in rubber suspension bushes, perished sidewalls, and seized brake calipers which occur when vehicles lack regular use. The low mileage also necessitates a check for flat spots on the tyres and uneven wear patterns despite the low tread depth. Additionally, inspect the structural integrity for corrosion on the sills and arches, as low-mileage cars stored in damp environments can still develop rust despite a clean MOT mechanical history.
