Our Verdict
This 2010 Honda Civic 1.8 petrol present
When assessing this specific Civic (MF60NXV), your primary focus should be on verifying recent suspension and tyre work. Check the offside front suspension where a leaking shock absorber failed test standards in 2025 to ensure the replacement was fitted properly, ideally as an axle pair. Factor in the immediate cost of replacing the worn offside front tyre noted on the July 2026 test, and inspect the front tracking as edge wear often points to misalignment.
Ask the seller for documented proof of servicing, particularly routine oil changes, spark plug replacements, and brake fluid flushes for the 1.8-litre i-VTEC petrol unit. Because this vehicle has accumulated approximately 139,500 miles—well above the model's typical annual baseline—budgeting for aged mechanical wear such as suspension bushes, clutch wear, and cooling components is sensible.
Use the impending tyre replacement and general age-related wear as leverage during price negotiations. Ensure you test all electrical ancillaries, including the digital instrument cluster, side repeaters, air conditioning, and electric windows, as electrical glitches can become more frequent at this age.
The 1.8-litre petrol engine in this Civic offers moderate running costs for a compact hatchback of this vintage. Official combined fuel economy typically sits around 42-44 mpg under standard driving conditions, though town driving will see figures closer to mid-30s mpg. Annual road tax (VED) for this 1799cc petrol derivative falls into standard Band G/H rates depending on exact CO2 output, costing around £210-£255 annually.
Insurance sits in a modest group (typically insurance group 15-18), making premiums manageable for most experienced drivers. Given the car's current mileage, regular annual servicing and wear-and-tear maintenance (including tyres, brake pads, and suspension components) will represent the bulk of ongoing ownership expenses.
Factoring in standard UK fuel prices, annual road tax, intermediate servicing, and tyre replacements, the estimated annual running cost for an average 8,000-mile year is approximately £1,600-£2,000.
Begin your inspection with the suspension and steering setup. The MOT test in July 2025 recorded a serious fluid leak on the offside front shock absorber; inspect both front dampers for signs of misting, fluid leaks, or uneven damping during a test drive over uneven road surfaces. Listen for knocks or creaks from the front anti-roll bar drop links and lower wishbone bushes.
Inspect the tyres closely across all four corners. The July 2026 MOT recorded the offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, while previous 2023 records noted perishing rear tyres. Check tread depth across the full width of all tyres and look for uneven shoulder wear that suggests steering misalignment.
Under the bonnet, check the 1799cc petrol engine for steady idling, smooth acceleration through the rev range, and clean fluids with no oil seepage around the rocker cover. Test all exterior lighting, specifically verifying the side repeater functionality following the previous failure in 2025.
First registered in September 2010, this silver Honda Civic 1.8-litre petrol has covered 139,513 miles across its 16 years on the road. Its MOT records show regular testing with one test failure recorded in July 2025 at 136,095 miles for a leaking offside front shock absorber and an inoperative side repeater, both of which were addressed for a same-day retest pass. The most recent test in July 2026 passed with an advisory for edge wear on the offside front tyre, indicating immediate consumable expenditure is required.
Across 328,514 Honda Civic records analysed, the model demonstrates an average MOT pass rate of 78.2%, with the most common recorded failure points involving brake pads, tyres, and headlamp aim.
