Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Pay close attention to the recent spike in usage; the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles between August 2025 and August 2026, a significant increase compared to previous years. Request detailed service records for this period to ensure the engine and drivetrain were maintained during this higher-mileage phase.
Given the recurring corrosion advisories on the rear brake pipes and suspension arms, a thorough underbody inspection is essential. Negotiate the price based on the need to address the worn suspension bushes and the defective headlamp lens noted in the most recent MOT record.
Equipped with a 1598cc petrol engine, this vehicle will have moderate fuel costs but may face higher insurance premiums due to its status as a classic. Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than a modern equivalent, as parts for a 1990 model can be harder to source and the MOT history suggests a need for ongoing suspension and brake work.
Typical annual costs will include road tax, insurance, and a budget for preventative maintenance to combat the corrosion patterns seen in the data. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,200-£1,500.
Prioritise an inspection of the nearside front drive shaft CV boot and the front exhaust system, as these were primary reasons for the August 2026 failure. Check that the front mount bolt is now present and secure, and verify the condition of the headlamp lenses.
Crucially, examine the rear brake hoses, pipes, and coil springs, as well as the front and rear outer suspension arms. These components have been flagged for corrosion in multiple MOT tests (2024 and 2025), and you should check if these have been replaced or merely monitored.
This 1990 red Honda Civic CRX has recorded 76,670 miles. The MOT history reveals a pattern of corrosion affecting brake pipes, coil springs, and suspension arms since 2024, culminating in a 2026 failure involving a deteriorated CV boot, exhaust leak, and a missing engine mount bolt.
Based on data from 695 vehicles, this model has an average MOT pass rate of 78.6%, with common failures typically involving the exhaust and service brakes.
