Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
Given the two MOT failures recorded in April 2022, you should ask the seller for specific details on what caused those failures and if the subsequent repairs were documented. Because the MOT records do not list the specific reasons for failure (such as tyres, exhaust, or headlamps, which are common for this model), you must verify the current state of these components personally.
Negotiate based on the fact that the vehicle has failed twice in a short period. Check for any evidence of recent work related to the 2023 MOT failure. Since this is a 25-year-old vehicle, ensure you check for any signs of corrosion or fluid leaks that may not have been captured in the MOT results.
As a 1.6L petrol engine, running costs are generally predictable for a car of this era. You should expect moderate fuel economy typical of early 2000s Honda engines. Tax and insurance groups for a 2001 Civic are usually relatively low, making it an affordable option for budget-conscious drivers.
Maintenance costs will be influenced by the age of the vehicle. While Honda parts are generally reliable, you should budget for wear-and-tear items like tyres and exhaust components, which are noted as common failure points for this model aggregate.
Start by inspecting the tyres and the exhaust system, as these are the most frequent MOT failure reasons for the Honda Civic model. Check the tread depth on all tyres and look for any excessive noise or rust on the exhaust manifold and tailpipe.
Additionally, check the headlamp clarity and alignment, as this is another common failure point identified in the aggregate data. Given the 2023 MOT failure at 98,843 miles, pay close attention to the braking system and suspension components during your test drive.
This 2001 Honda Civic 1.6 VTEC is a blue petrol model with approximately 98,843 miles recorded at its last test. The vehicle has seen significantly higher usage than the model average of 6,573 miles per year. Its MOT history shows two failures within a single year (2022), though no specific defect types were recorded in the provided data.
The Honda Civic has a recorded average MOT pass rate of 78.1% across the analysed sample.
