Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
When viewing this vehicle, pay close attention to the tyres. The 2024 MOT history shows a significant number of failures related to tyres being worn close to the legal limit or perishing/cracking. Ensure all four tyres have substantial tread and no signs of sidewall cracking.
Given the 2024 failure for shock absorber leaks and corroded rear coil springs, you should check the suspension components for any signs of fluid weeping or heavy corrosion. Additionally, verify that the registration plates are clear and legible, as this has been a repeated advisory/failure point for this specific car. Finally, check that the driver's view is entirely unobstructed, as this was noted in the 2025 and 2026 MOT tests.
With a 1799cc petrol engine, running costs will be typical for a mid-sized hatchback of this era. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style, but owners can generally expect moderate petrol consumption.
Insurance groups for 2006 Civics vary, but the 1.8L engine typically sits in a mid-range bracket. Maintenance costs should be budgeted for, particularly regarding tyres and suspension components, which have appeared frequently in this vehicle's recent MOT history. Estimated annual running costs are likely to be moderate.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and tyres. The March 2024 failure specifically cited a serious fluid leak from the nearside front shock absorber and light misting on the offside front. Check all four corners for any signs of oil leaking from the dampers. Also, inspect the rear coil springs for any visible surface corrosion, as this was a previous failure point.
Check the condition of the headlamp lenses; the MOT history shows they have been hazed/defective in multiple tests since 2023. Finally, ensure the registration plates are in good condition and not deteriorated, as this has been a recurring issue for LT06KDF.
This 2006 black Honda Civic 1.8 VTEC has covered 111,597 miles since its first registration in March 2006. The MOT history reveals several points of concern, most notably a significant failure in March 2024 involving multiple tyres, shock absorbers, and corroded coil springs. Although the 2026 test was passed, recurring advisories regarding registration plate deterioration and items obstructing the driver's view suggest a need for closer attention to detail.
The Honda Civic has an average MOT pass rate of 78.1% across the analysed sample, with common failure points being tyres, exhausts, and headlamps.
