Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
The primary point for negotiation is the brake system; the September 2025 MOT specifically flagged that both front and rear inner brake pads were wearing thin. You should verify if these have been replaced since the test or use this as a lever to reduce the purchase price to cover the cost of new pads and sensors.
Beyond the brakes, ensure you review the service history to confirm the 1.0L engine has been maintained according to the manufacturer's schedule. Given the mileage is slightly higher than average for this model, checking for a comprehensive record of oil and filter changes is essential for long-term confidence.
Equipped with a small 988cc engine, this Civic is designed for efficiency, likely placing it in a lower VED tax bracket and a competitive insurance group. Fuel costs should remain manageable for typical UK commuting, though actual MPG will vary based on driving style.
Annual maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though the recent brake advisories indicate that wear-and-tear items are now due for attention. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Priority should be given to the braking system. Specifically, inspect the inner brake pads on both the front and rear axles, as these were noted as wearing thin in the 2025 MOT. A visual check of the discs for excessive lip wear is also advised.
Additionally, cross-reference the vehicle against the model's aggregate failure data. Check the condition of the tyres, the integrity of the exhaust system, and the functionality of all headlamps, as these are the three most common reasons for MOT failures across the 329,088 Civics analysed.
This blue 2017 Honda Civic, powered by a 988cc petrol engine, shows a stable history with four recorded MOT tests and zero failures. The mileage reached 73,223 miles by September 2025, which is slightly above the model average. While the most recent test included advisories regarding brake wear, the preceding three years were entirely defect-free.
This model maintains a respectable average MOT pass rate of 78.1% across a very large sample size of over 329,000 vehicles.
