Our Verdict
A cautious recommendation for buyers loo
When viewing this specific vehicle, focus your attention on the areas that caused the 2022 MOT failure. Specifically, check the condition of the suspension components and the parking brake to ensure the previous repairs were comprehensive. Given the age of the vehicle, you should also verify if there is any evidence of corrosion on the inner sills, which was a noted issue in its history.
Negotiate based on the mileage, which is significantly higher than the aggregate average for this model. Ask for documentation regarding the work carried out following the January 2022 failure to confirm that the seat belt anchorage and suspension issues were addressed to a professional standard. A full service history would be a vital supplement to these MOT records.
With a 1998cc petrol engine, this Civic will sit in a mid-range insurance group and tax band typical for its era. Fuel economy will be moderate, reflecting the larger engine displacement compared to smaller capacity variants.
Maintenance costs for this model generally align with standard petrol hatchback expectations. However, given the recorded history of suspension and braking issues, you should budget for potential wear-and-tear replacements for consumables like tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushes in the near future.
A priority inspection point is the suspension system. The 2022 MOT record specifically flagged an excessively worn offside front suspension arm bush; ensure this part and its counterparts feel tight and free of play during a test drive.
Additionally, inspect the parking brake efficiency and the integrity of the inner sills. The previous failure mentioned reduced strength in the inner sills, so check for any signs of structural degradation or recent welding. Finally, verify that all exterior lighting, particularly the rear registration plate lamp, is functioning correctly to avoid minor compliance issues.
This 2006 black Honda Civic with the 2.0L petrol engine has covered 116,360 miles as of its last MOT in February 2024.

Its mileage is notably higher than the model average of 6,591 per year.
