2022 Honda Civic Sport I-MMD CVT 2.0L Hybrid electric · SJ72 DZP

The i-MMD hybrid system is designed for high fuel efficiency, particularly in urban and stop-start traffic, which should keep fuel costs competitive. As a hybrid, it may also benefit from lower VED (Vehicle Excise Duty) rates compared to non-hybrid equivalents of a similar age.

Insurance costs will depend on your personal profile, but the Civic Sport sits in a moderate group for its class. You should budget for annual servicing at a Honda-approved centre to maintain any remaining manufacturer warranty, with total annual running costs estimated between £1,200 and £1,500 depending on your annual mileage.

Although the 2025 MOT test recorded no defects, you should still perform a physical inspection of the registration plates to ensure they are secure and compliant, as this is a common failure point identified in broader model data. Check the bodywork for any signs of damage or previous repairs, particularly given the vibrant red paintwork which can highlight inconsistencies.

Inspect the tyres for uneven wear, as this can indicate tracking or suspension issues that might not have been apparent during the last MOT. Test all dashboard functions, including the infotainment and driver assistance systems, to ensure they are fully operational and free from warning lights.
