Our Verdict
This 2011 Honda Civic is a reasonable buy for a budget-conscious buyer, but budget for immediate tyre and lamp checks. Its MOT history is mostly clean, though a 2022 failure and recent tyre wear show it needs attention.
When viewing this Civic, ask for proof the offside front position lamp failure from 31 October 2022 was repaired promptly, as a failed lamp suggests the car may have been used briefly in a non-roadworthy state. Given the 1.8-litre petrol engine and 2011 registration, confirm a full service history to validate the 123,913 miles and check for cambelt or chain intervals as per Honda guidance. Negotiate on the basis of the two inner front tyres flagged as worn close to the legal limit at the January 2026 MOT, as these will need replacing soon and cost roughly £100-£150 per pair.
The 1799cc petrol engine in this Civic typically returns mid-40s mpg, keeping weekly fuel costs modest for a hatchback of this size. As a 2011 petrol, it will fall in a lower road tax band than larger engines but insurance group will depend on trim; budget around £300-£500 annually for cover. Estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance is approximately £1,000-£1,300 given the mileage and age.
At inspection, closely check the front inner tyres — the January 2026 MOT noted both nearside and offside front inner tyres worn close to the legal limit on the edge, so measure tread depth and look for uneven wear indicating tracking issues. Verify the offside front position lamp is operational and the wiring is sound, following the single 2022 failure for 'Offside Front Position lamp not working' (4.2.1 (a) (ii)). As no model aggregate data exists, also review the silver bodywork for corrosion and the 1.8 engine for oil leaks given the 123,913 miles recorded.
The silver 2011 Honda Civic (HN61AAU) shows a generally consistent MOT record with passes in 2023, 2024 and 2026 and only one failure in October 2022 for an offside front position lamp. Current mileage of 123,913 from the January 2026 test is moderate-to-high for a 14-year-old car but annual usage has been low in recent years. No aggregate model reliability data was available, so assessment relies solely on this vehicle's history.
No aggregate MOT reliability data was available for the Honda Civic, so this assessment is based only on the individual vehicle's recorded history.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2011 model year cars.
- Roof Channel CorrosionModerate
Rust often forms under the roof-channel trim strips.
- LCD Dashboard Display FailureModerate
The two-tier dashboard uses an LCD panel for speed and key information that can fade, develop dead pixels, or fail entirely with age, making critical information difficult to read.
- Immobiliser Battery DrainModerate
The immobiliser system can draw excessive current when parked, draining the battery over several days. Cars left unused for a week or more may fail to start.
