Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise the inspection of the braking system. The November 2024 MOT noted rear brake pipes were corroded and covered in grease; you should verify if these pipes have since been replaced or if the corrosion is progressing. Additionally, confirm that the Engine Management Light (MIL) issue that caused a failure in 2023 has been permanently resolved and is not simply masked.
Given the age of the vehicle, request any available service records to see if the timing belt has been replaced, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine. Negotiate the price based on the need for potential corrosion treatment and the replacement of ageing rubber components, such as the CV boots and track rod ends noted in previous tests.
The 1590cc petrol engine provides a balance of performance and economy typical for its era, though it will not match the efficiency of modern equivalents. Road tax will be based on the engine size and age, and the Civic generally sits in a modest insurance group, making it affordable to cover.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for a car of this age due to the need for rust prevention and the replacement of perished rubber seals and bushings. Expect a moderate annual spend on consumables and preventative repairs to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Perform a thorough underside inspection, specifically targeting the rear brake pipes mentioned in the 2024 MOT to check for structural integrity. Inspect the Nearside Front CV boot and both front track rod end dust covers, as these were significant failure points in November 2023.
Test all exterior lighting, including the position lamps and rear light lenses, as these have caused multiple failures and advisories between 2023 and 2025. Finally, check the operation and noise level of the wiper motor, which was flagged as noisy in the most recent November 2025 test.
This green 1.6L Honda Civic has recorded 99,859 miles over its 26-year history. The MOT record shows a pattern of minor failures related to lighting and wipers, alongside more significant mechanical concerns such as CV boot deterioration and brake pipe corrosion. It offers a low-mileage entry into this model, but the recent test history suggests a vehicle requiring active maintenance.
Based on data from 329,048 vehicles, this model has an average MOT pass rate of 78.1%, with tyres, exhausts, and headlamps being the most common failure points.
