Our Verdict
Recommended with caution due to high mileage and a past tyre-related MOT failure, but recent MOTs show strong reliability.
Prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection, focusing on the engine, transmission, and suspension. Check service records for consistency, particularly around the 2019 tyre issue. Negotiate based on mileage and age, as diesel models of this era often require costly repairs. Be wary of hidden wear on high-mileage vehicles.
Diesel fuel economy for the 2.2L engine is moderate, with typical urban mileage around 35-40 mpg. Tax band is likely £180 annually (diesel cars over 15 years old in the UK). Insurance groups for 2006 Civics typically range from 15-20. Maintenance costs may rise due to age, with potential expenses for timing belts or turbochargers. Estimated annual running cost: £1,000-£1,300.
Inspect tyres for uneven wear or cracks, especially rear tyres given the 2019 failure. Check for oil leaks, coolant loss, or suspension noise, which are common in high-mileage diesels. Test the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and ensure the engine starts smoothly. Review service history for regular maintenance, as neglect could accelerate wear.
This 2006 Honda Civic has a clean MOT history for the past three years, with no defects recorded. However, its 153,494 miles (as of 2025) exceed typical mileage for its age, and a 2019 MOT noted a rear tyre crack. While the vehicle has no recent issues, its high mileage and diesel engine may impact long-term reliability.
No aggregate reliability data available for the 2006 Honda Civic, but diesel models of this era generally require careful maintenance.
