2013 Honda Civic 2.2L Diesel · WN13 ACJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 316,917 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a period of clean passes over the last three years, indicating that the mechanical condition currently meets the minimum legal standards. While a minor oil leak was noted in January 2023 at 280,046 miles, the absence of subsequent failures suggests this issue was either managed or rectified. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging over 24,000 miles per year. The data shows significant and consistent usage, particularly between February 2022 and February 2023, where the car covered 26,100 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation typically points to long-distance motorway driving, which often places less strain on suspension and brakes compared to stop-and-go city traffic. The consistency of the annual testing confirms the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting idle for long periods. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the suspension components and high-wear items due to the extreme mileage. While the record shows no structural failures or recurring brake issues, the volume of travel suggests that rubber bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs are likely nearing their functional limit. Particular attention should be paid to any signs of the oil leak identified in 2023 to ensure it has not developed into a significant gasket failure. Given the age and mileage, verifying the integrity of the chassis for corrosion remains essential to confirm the long-term viability of the drivetrain.
