Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Pay close attention to the repairs carried out following the June 2026 MOT failure. Specifically, request evidence that the Engine Management Light (MIL) malfunction was permanently resolved rather than temporarily reset. The record of an oil leak and misting shock absorbers suggests the vehicle is entering a phase of increased maintenance requirements.
Given the extremely low mileage increase (only 700 miles) between August 2022 and February 2025, check for signs of stagnation, such as perished rubber seals or battery degradation. Ensure there is a documented service history to complement the MOT records, as the MOT alone does not confirm mechanical health.
The 1.8L petrol engine provides a reliable power delivery but will have higher fuel consumption than smaller engines or newer hybrids. Tax and insurance will be typical for a 2011 family hatchback, though insurance groups vary by driver profile.
Maintenance costs for this age and mileage are likely to rise, as evidenced by the recent need for brake disc attention across all four wheels. Expect standard Honda parts pricing, which is generally competitive for the UK market.
Inspect the braking system thoroughly; the June 2026 MOT noted that all four brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored. Check the nearside front shock absorber for any remaining oil misting and look for signs of the reported oil leak around the engine block.
Verify the condition of the front headlamp lenses, which were noted as slightly defective. Additionally, check the tread depth of the nearside rear tyre, as it was previously recorded as being close to the legal limit.
This black 2011 Honda Civic has covered 124,953 miles, which is above the model average. The MOT history reveals a period of very low usage between 2022 and 2025, followed by a June 2026 test that failed on multiple items including an engine management light and oil leak before passing.
Based on data from 329,048 vehicles, this model has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 78.1%.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2011 model year cars.
- Roof Channel CorrosionModerate
Rust often forms under the roof-channel trim strips.
- LCD Dashboard Display FailureModerate
The two-tier dashboard uses an LCD panel for speed and key information that can fade, develop dead pixels, or fail entirely with age, making critical information difficult to read.
- Immobiliser Battery DrainModerate
The immobiliser system can draw excessive current when parked, draining the battery over several days. Cars left unused for a week or more may fail to start.
