Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific 1.6L petrol Civic, pay close attention to the underside of the chassis. While the 2023 MOT noted corrosion on the offside rear anti-roll bar mounting, you should check if this has progressed or if other suspension components show similar signs of wear.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent maintenance, particularly regarding tyres and brakes, as these are the most common failure points for this model according to aggregate data. Given the mileage is nearly 100,000, ensure the timing chain (if applicable to this specific engine variant) or belt has been inspected according to manufacturer intervals.
The 1590cc petrol engine is generally efficient for a car of this era, though fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style. As a 2004 model, tax bands and insurance groups are typically moderate, making it an affordable option for older drivers or those with modest budgets.
Maintenance costs should be predictable, but be prepared for common wear-and-tear items like tyres and brake pads. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, sits in the mid-range for a petrol hatchback of this age.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The MOT history specifically highlighted a corroded anti-roll bar attachment bracket in 2023; check the offside rear area to see if this has been addressed or if further corrosion is visible.
Additionally, because tyres, brake pads, and headlamps are the most frequent failure reasons for the Honda Civic in our database, perform a thorough check of the tread depth on all tyres, the thickness of the brake pads, and the clarity/alignment of the headlamp lenses.
This 2004 silver Honda Civic 1.6 VTEC has covered 99,539 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. The MOT history is largely clean, with only one recorded advisory regarding a corroded anti-roll bar attachment in 2023. Compared to the model average of 6,579 miles per year, this vehicle has been driven significantly more than the typical example of this age.
The Honda Civic shows a 78.1% average MOT pass rate across 328,820 analysed vehicles, suggesting a generally stable reliability profile.
