Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the high mil
Priority should be placed on reviewing the full service history to verify how the engine has been maintained over 170,000 miles. Given the vehicle's age and usage, check for evidence of major component replacements. Use the high mileage as a primary point for price negotiation, as it sits well above the model's average annual usage.
The 1799cc petrol engine offers a balance of power but will incur moderate fuel costs and a corresponding road tax band for 2006 vehicles. Insurance groups for the Civic are typically reasonable, though maintenance costs may be higher for this specific car due to its high odometer reading.
Annual expenses will be driven primarily by fuel and the likelihood of replacing wear-and-tear items. Expect a higher maintenance budget than a lower-mileage equivalent to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Pay close attention to the exhaust system, tyres, and headlamps, as these are the most common MOT failure points for the Honda Civic. Although the MOT records for OY56WBT do not specify the reasons for the failures in 2022 and 2023, these areas should be checked thoroughly.
Conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension and braking components, which are prone to wear after 170,000 miles. Ensure all electrical functions are operational, as age-related degradation is common in vehicles from 2006.
This 1.8L petrol Honda Civic has a recorded mileage of 170,113 miles as of July 2023. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures followed by immediate passes in both 2022 and 2023. It is a high-mileage example of a model that maintains a 78.1% average pass rate across the wider UK fleet.
The Honda Civic is generally regarded as reliable, with an average MOT pass rate of 78.1% across over 329,000 analysed vehicles.
