Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When viewing this specific black 1.8L petrol Civic, your priority should be verifying the current state of the steering system. The 2022 MOT noted play in the steering rack inner joints on both sides; you must confirm if this was repaired or if the issue persists, as it can affect handling and safety.
Request a detailed service history to see if the brake pads noted as thin in 2022 have been replaced. Because this is a 2006 model, also check for signs of corrosion on the underside and ensure the 1799cc engine runs smoothly without excessive oil consumption, which can sometimes occur in high-mileage petrol units.
Running costs for this 1.8L petrol Civic will be moderate. As a 2006 model, it will likely fall into a mid-range insurance group and tax band, though specific figures depend on the exact insurance provider and current UK tax legislation.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for regularly, particularly for consumables like tyres and brakes, which are common areas of concern for this model type. Given the mileage, expect more frequent component replacements compared to a lower-mileage vehicle.
Specifically inspect the steering assembly. The 2022 MOT failure/advisory regarding play in the steering rack inner joints (both OS and NS) is a critical point to investigate through a test drive; listen for knocks or feel for looseness in the steering wheel.
Additionally, check the front braking system. Since the 2022 record highlighted thin front brake pads, verify that the pads and discs have been serviced recently. Finally, check the condition of the tyres and exhaust, as these are the most common failure points for the Honda Civic model aggregate data.
This 2006 Honda Civic 1.8 i-VTEC is a high-mileage example, having covered approximately 165,995 miles as of its last recorded MOT. The MOT history shows a transition from a clean record in 2021 to a 2022 test that identified steering rack play and thinning front brake pads. Given its age and the mileage recorded, potential buyers should weigh the vehicle's longevity against the wear seen in its recent testing history.
The Honda Civic shows a 78.1% average MOT pass rate across 329,048 analysed vehicles, with common failures related to tyres, exhausts, and headlamps.
