Our Verdict
This is a solid recommendation for a buyer seeking a well-documented example of a 2006 Honda Civic. The recent MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes with no recorded defects over the last several years.
When inspecting this 2006 Civic, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record. While the MOTs show no defects, they do not confirm regular oil changes or scheduled maintenance. Check for any evidence of the common 1.8L engine maintenance requirements.
During a test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension or braking system, as these are common areas for wear in older hatchbacks. Given the mileage is just over 100,000, check the condition of the drive belts and the state of the battery. Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and the remaining tread depth, as these are frequent failure points for this model type.
The 1799cc petrol engine typically places this vehicle in a moderate insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy for this generation of Civic is generally considered respectable for a non-hybrid petrol engine of this era.
Maintenance costs for Honda models are often predictable, though parts for older 2006 models may vary in availability. Expect typical running costs to include regular servicing, tyres, and brake components. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle is approximately £1,100-£1,400, depending on annual mileage and insurance profile.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, you should pay close attention to the brake pads and tyres, as these are the most frequent failure reasons for the Honda Civic across the 328,313 vehicles analysed. Ensure the brake discs do not show excessive grooving.
Additionally, check the condition of the headlamps to ensure they are clear and provide adequate illumination, as headlamp issues are a top failure reason for this model. While this specific vehicle's recent MOTs show no defects, always inspect the underside for signs of corrosion, which can be common in older black-painted vehicles used in UK climates.
This black 1.8L petrol Honda Civic has covered 105,259 miles since its first registration in February 2006. The MOT history for this specific vehicle is notably clean, with passing results recorded in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. While it experienced a failure in September 2025, the record shows it was rectified immediately to achieve a pass on the same day.
The Honda Civic has an average MOT pass rate of 78.2% across the 328,313 vehicles analysed in our database.
