Our Verdict

Approach with cautious optimism — this 2005 Honda Civic has a mostly consistent MOT pass record but a recent failure shows neglected maintenance items. Budget for immediate suspension and washer system repairs if buying.

When viewing OV05AFJ, ask for proof the offside rear coil spring was replaced after the 27 February 2026 failure and confirm the windscreen washer system is now functioning. The 1.4-litre petrol Civic of this era is generally simple to maintain, but the repeated oil leak advisories (2023, 2024, 2025) mean you should check underneath for fresh drips and review any service history for crank seal or sump work. Negotiate around £150-£300 off a typical retail price to cover the recent spring fix and forthcoming tyre and brake maintenance seen in the advisories.
