Our Verdict
This is a low-mileage example of a 2020
When inspecting this specific vehicle, verify that the registration plate has been replaced with a standard, correctly spaced UK compliant plate, as the 2026 failure noted it had an incorrect honeycomb background. Ensure the TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) light is no longer active, as this was flagged during the January 2026 test.
Given the low mileage, check that all interior controls and electronic systems feel responsive. While the MOT history is relatively sparse due to the vehicle's age and low usage, you should request a service history to confirm that oil changes have been performed according to Honda's intervals, regardless of the low mileage.
The 1996cc petrol engine places this Civic in a mid-range insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy will depend on driving style, but as a Euro 6am petrol model, it is compliant with most UK Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ).
Maintenance costs for this model are typically predictable, though you should budget for tyres and brake components, which are common failure points across the wider Honda Civic fleet. The estimated annual running cost is moderate, reflecting its petrol engine and typical UK insurance premiums.
Focus your inspection on the windscreen; the most recent MOT history shows a chip was present in January 2026. Although it passed after the failure, check for any new chips or cracks that could lead to another failure.
Additionally, inspect the tyres and check the TPMS system functionality. While this specific vehicle hasn't failed for tyres yet, it is a top failure reason for this model aggregate. Ensure the registration plate is a standard issue plate to avoid the non-conformity issue seen in the recent MOT history.
Registered in January 2020, this black 2.0L petrol Civic has covered 11,873 miles as of its last MOT in January 2026. This is significantly lower than the model average of 6,591 miles per year, which would suggest a much higher mileage for a six-year-old vehicle. The MOT history shows a recent failure in early 2026 related to a windscreen chip and registration plate non-conformity, but no major mechanical failures have been recorded.
The Honda Civic shows a 78.1% average MOT pass rate across 329,048 analysed vehicles, with common issues often relating to tyres, exhausts, and headlamps.
