Our Verdict
This 2010 Honda Civic presents moderate risks due to high mileage and recurring suspension/brake issues, but its hybrid drivetrain and clean MOT history in 2021 offer some compensation.
Prioritize a thorough mechanical inspection of front suspension arms, brake pads, and tyres. Verify service history to confirm if recurring issues were addressed. Negotiate the price to account for high mileage and potential future repairs. Check for any unresolved MOT failures from 2020, particularly the steering rack play and obscured undertray components. Be cautious of hybrid-specific maintenance costs, though no model-specific data is available.
The hybrid electric engine likely offers better fuel economy than conventional models, though exact figures aren't provided. As a 2010 vehicle, it would fall into a higher insurance group. Maintenance costs may be elevated due to the suspension/brake issues identified in MOTs. Estimated annual running costs (fuel, tax, insurance, maintenance): £800-£1,000, assuming regular servicing and no major repairs.
Focus on front suspension arm bushes (repeatedly flagged in 2022 and 2020 MOTs), brake pads (noted in 2020 and 2019), and tyres (worn to legal limits in 2020). Check for steering rack wear and ensure undertray components aren't obstructing inspections. Inspect the hybrid battery and electric motor for signs of degradation, though no specific issues were recorded. Verify that all previous MOT repairs were completed to manufacturer standards.
The 2010 Honda Civic has accumulated 152,207 miles (above average for its age) with MOT records showing repeated suspension bush wear, brake component degradation, and tyre issues. While it has passed all inspections, the frequency of repairs suggests potential long-term reliability concerns. The hybrid electric powertrain may offer better fuel economy than standard variants.
No aggregate reliability data available for the 2010 Honda Civic model, but this vehicle's MOT history indicates common wear patterns in suspension and braking systems for its age.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2010 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.
