2010 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · LS60 AYB

The 1339cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it an economical choice for UK drivers. Fuel economy for this generation of Civic is typically moderate, suitable for both urban and motorway driving.

Maintenance costs should be considered in line with standard petrol hatchbacks, though you should budget for more frequent tyre and brake pad replacements, as these are the most common failure reasons for this model across the wider dataset. Estimated annual running costs are mid-range for a vehicle of this age.

Focus your inspection on the braking system and tyres. The aggregate data for this model highlights brake pads and tyres as top MOT failure reasons, so ensure these have plenty of life remaining on this specific silver Civic.

Additionally, check the headlamps for clarity and correct alignment, as this is another frequent failure point identified in the model's history. Given the recent series of MOT failures, a thorough check of the underside for any signs of fluid leaks or worn suspension bushings is highly recommended.
