Our Verdict
This is a highly recommended example of
When inspecting this specific 1.5L petrol model, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record. While the MOT history shows no mechanical failures, the absence of advisories does not confirm the vehicle has been serviced according to manufacturer intervals.
Check the brake pads and tyre tread depths manually, as these are common areas for wear even if they haven't triggered an MOT failure yet. For this specific Honda, ensure the service book reflects regular oil changes, which is vital for the longevity of the 1498cc turbocharged engine.
The 1.5L petrol engine is generally efficient for its class, offering a balance of performance and economy. You should expect moderate fuel costs consistent with a modern petrol hatchback.
Maintenance costs for a Honda Civic of this age are typically predictable, though you should budget for consumables like tyres and brakes. The insurance group will depend on the specific trim level, but it is generally positioned in a mid-range bracket suitable for most drivers.
Although this vehicle has had no MOT failures, the aggregate data for Honda Civics suggests that tyres, exhausts, and headlamps are common failure points across the wider model range. It is wise to inspect the condition of all four tyres and check the brightness and alignment of the headlamps.
Additionally, check the underside of the vehicle for any signs of exhaust corrosion or minor leaks, even though none have been recorded in the recent history. Given the mileage of 56,042, also inspect the condition of the suspension components and rubber bushings.
Registered in June 2018, this black 1.5L petrol Civic has covered 56,042 miles as of its most recent MOT in May 2026. The MOT record is notably consistent, showing zero defects or advisories since its first recorded test in 2022. Given the model's aggregate data shows an average annual mileage of 6,573, this vehicle's usage of approximately 7,000 miles per year is very much in line with typical patterns for this model.
The Honda Civic shows a 78.1% average MOT pass rate across 329,088 analysed vehicles, indicating a generally reliable platform.
