Our Verdict
Highly recommended for buyers seeking a reliable, low-mileage hatchback. This example boasts a remarkably clean record and low mileage, making it a safe bet in the used market.
When inspecting this RX68XHT, your priority should be the service history. Given the low mileage, it is vital that the car has been serviced annually rather than just based on mileage intervals to ensure engine health. Check that the oil changes have been performed consistently, as the 42,000-mile mark is a milestone for Honda's turbocharged engines.
Perform a thorough walk-around to check for consistent panel gaps; although the MOT history shows no structural issues, cosmetic bumper repairs can still occur. Since the 2022 MOT mentioned rear tyres and brake pads, verify that these have been replaced since then and ensure the current tyres have healthy tread and the brakes are not pulling unevenly.
The 1.5cc petrol engine is relatively fuel-efficient, typically delivering between 45-55 MPG depending on driving conditions. As a Euro 6 vehicle, it is exempt from ULEZ and Clean Air charges, saving significantly on daily commuting. Insurance usually falls into a mid-range group (15-20), making it affordable for families.
Maintenance costs for Hondas are generally lower than their German rivals. You should expect standard annual servicing to be reasonable, with estimated annual running costs including fuel and insurance sitting between £1,100 and £1,400.
Focus on the tyres and brakes first. The 2022 MOT advisory noted damage to the offside and nearside rear tyres; ensure the current set is of a quality brand and shows no signs of sidewall damage. Check the brake pad thickness, as the 'thin' pads noted four years ago should have been addressed by now.
Inspect the infotainment system for any glitches or connectivity issues, which are common electronic touchpoints in this era of Civic. Given the low mileage, also check for any signs of rubber cracking on suspension bushings or wipers, which can sometimes occur if a car has sat for long periods rather than being driven frequently.
This 2018 Honda Civic is in excellent physical condition, having covered just 42,028 miles over its eight-year life. The MOT history is exemplary, with no recorded failures since its first test and only minor wear-related advisories noted far back in 2022. The 1.5L Euro 6 petrol engine offers a good balance of efficiency and low-emission compliance for modern UK zones.
The 10th generation Honda Civic is widely regarded for its mechanical robustness, particularly the VTEC turbo petrol engines.
