Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the very hig
Given the odometer reading of nearly 195,000 miles, the primary focus should be on the service history to see if major components have been replaced to accommodate such high usage. Negotiate the price based on the inevitable wear and tear associated with a 20-year-old vehicle. Ensure you verify the date of the last oil change and check for any evidence of leaks, which are more common as engines age.
Check for any signs of interior wear and tear, as high-mileage vehicles often show significant degradation in seat bolsters and switchgear. Ensure all electrical components are functioning, noting that a side repeater light was flagged as a defect in 2022.
The 1339cc petrol engine is generally economical for its era, though fuel efficiency will be lower than modern equivalents. Insurance for this model is typically affordable, and the road tax will be based on the 2006 emissions standards for this engine size.
Maintenance costs are likely to be the most volatile variable. While the Honda Civic is known for durability, a vehicle with 194,912 miles is more likely to require suspension and bushing replacements. Expect higher-than-average annual maintenance spend to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Pay close attention to the front suspension; the March 2026 MOT specifically noted that the nearside front Macpherson strut pin or bush is worn. While it did not cause a failure, this is a primary area for inspection and potential replacement. Check the tyres and exhaust system thoroughly, as these are the most common failure points across the wider Honda Civic model range.
Additionally, inspect the side repeater lights and the rear seatbelt mechanisms. The 2024 MOT record mentioned a child seat blocking the inspection of the adult belt, so ensure the belt retracts and locks correctly across all rear positions.
This silver 1.4L petrol Honda Civic has recorded 194,912 miles as of its last MOT in March 2026. The vehicle has passed its last five MOT tests consecutively, with no failures recorded between 2022 and 2026. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average, the record shows a pattern of passing tests with only minor advisories.
The Honda Civic shows a solid reliability trend with a 78.1% average MOT pass rate across 329,088 analysed vehicles.
