Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Focus your attention on the maintenance of wear-and-tear items. The MOT history shows recurring advisories for front tyre wear in both 2022 and 2026, so you should verify the current tread depth and check for wheel alignment issues. Ensure that the rear brake pads, which were flagged as wearing thin in July 2025, have been replaced since that test.
As this is a 2016 diesel engine, request the full service history to confirm regular oil changes. Given the mileage and engine type, it is also worth confirming that the vehicle has been used for a mix of driving cycles to ensure the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) remains clear.
The 1.6L diesel engine is geared towards fuel efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for higher annual mileages. Typical running costs will include a moderate insurance group and a diesel-specific road tax band based on its 2016 emissions standards.
Maintenance costs for the Civic are generally predictable, though you should budget for the replacement of consumables like tyres and brakes, which have appeared as advisories in this vehicle's history. Annual costs will vary based on usage but typically cover fuel, tax, and routine servicing.
Prioritise an inspection of the tyres; the July 2026 MOT explicitly noted that both the nearside and offside front tyres were worn close to the legal limit. Check the rear brake pads to see if the 2025 advisory was addressed.
Additionally, while this specific car has a clean record, aggregate data shows that exhausts and headlamps are common failure points for this model. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion and ensure all lighting elements are functioning correctly to avoid future MOT issues.
This white 2016 Honda Civic 1.6 diesel has covered 85,963 miles, which is above the model average. It has passed every MOT test since 2022, including its most recent check in July 2026. While there are recurring advisories regarding tyre wear, the overall record is stable.
The Civic has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 78.1%, and this specific vehicle's 100% pass rate exceeds that average.
