Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough insp
When viewing this vehicle, focus heavily on the electrical systems. The 2025 MOT failure included multiple inoperative position lamps and registration plate lamps, which can indicate ageing wiring or bulb socket issues. Ensure all indicators, including side repeaters, are functioning perfectly during your test drive.
Check the condition of the windscreen wipers and washer system, as these were noted as failures in both 2024 and 2025. Additionally, inspect the tyres for signs of cracking or perishing, a fault identified in the most recent MOT, and verify that the brake discs do not show the pitting or scoring seen in the 2023 record.
As a 1.4L petrol model, this Civic is likely to sit in a moderate insurance group and a relatively efficient tax band. Fuel economy for this engine size is typically reasonable for a non-hybrid hatchback of this era.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, but you should budget for regular consumables like tyres and wiper blades, which have appeared in the MOT history. Expect an estimated annual running cost of approximately £1,100-£1,400, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Specifically inspect the exterior lighting array. The MOT history for OY56YYT shows repeated issues with side repeaters, position lamps, and registration plate lamps. Test every bulb and check for any signs of moisture ingress in the light clusters.
Look closely at the 'wear and tear' items. The 2025 record noted a damaged/perishing tyre, and the 2023 record highlighted worn and pitted front brake discs. You should also check the windscreen wiper arms and the washer fluid delivery system, as these have been documented failure points in recent years.
This 2006 black Honda Civic 1.4 petrol has covered 124,170 miles as of its October 2025 MOT. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of minor failures, including lighting, wipers, and tyres, with the most recent failure in 2025 involving several simultaneous issues. While it has passed its tests, the frequency of advisories and failures suggests a variable maintenance approach.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.1% average MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to tyres, exhausts, and headlamps.
