83 out of 100
The score weighs price, history, maintenance, mileage, and more.
The British MOT figures count towards the model reliability sub-score. At the measured ages this model fails about 0.8 times as often as the British average. That average covers all cars that came on the road in the same year. This raises that sub-score by 2 out of 100, with a maximum of 4 points. The total purchase score comes out at 83/100.
This shows how much data we had, not the car's condition.
9 points for this model. 2 points have a repair amount and are listed first.
The older a car gets, the greater the chance of wear. This is about rubber and moving parts, such as suspension, drive shafts and gaskets. It applies to almost every make and model.
Parts that move wear with the distance driven. Think of the clutch, brakes and suspension. That applies to every make and model.
According to the GDV rating-class register (rate year 2024), Civic has KH 11-20 (scale 10-25), VK 10-28 (scale 10-34), TK 11-28 (scale 10-33). Note: this range comes from 128 known engine variants in this rate year. GDV only looks at make and model here, not at the generation. With a count this high, several model generations may be pooled together. Note: this is an index figure or rating class, an insurance statistic about the whole model. It is not a chance of defects and not a prediction for this car.
Note: this is a share of the cars tested in this age band. It is not a chance of defects and predicts nothing for this car.

The manufacturer has published 211 technical bulletins about CIVIC, mainly about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (48 of 211), ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING (32 of 211), VISIBILITY (28 of 211). These are messages from the manufacturer to the dealer network, for example repair instructions, software updates or warranty programmes. They are not recalls themselves and not a proven problem with this model. That also holds when the text mentions a recall. The count says nothing about the quality of this car.
According to IIHS/HLDI, the "all coverages combined" loss index for Civic is 112. Basis 100 is the US national average for all passenger cars under this coverage.

Three things you can check yourself:
We do not see every earlier mileage reading. Ask the seller for service invoices and inspection reports that show the mileage. Compare those with the current reading.
There is no public damage database we may use. So we do not invent one. Do you have doubts about earlier damage? Then have the car inspected independently by a qualified garage or inspection service.
We cannot see what work has been done on the car. Nor how it stands today. Ask for the service book and the invoices. Judge the condition yourself when you view the car and on the test drive.
North American title registration (salvage, damage, earlier mileage readings)
In the United States every state keeps a title registration. It records whether a car was ever a total loss after serious damage or flooding. That is called a 'salvage title'. It also lists all earlier owners and mileage readings. By law, only providers approved by NMVTIS may supply that data. So this report shows no title status. Canada and Mexico each have their own system, not covered by NMVTIS. The two links below therefore show only US data. Note: a North American VIN only says where the car was built, not where it was sold. Cars built in North America for Europe also get such a VIN. Was this car really imported from the United States? Flooded and salvage cars sometimes reach the export market without you seeing it straight away. Then check this yourself before you buy.
Missing information
The purchase score, the risk assessments and the advice in this report come from an automated analysis.
That analysis uses general model knowledge and the data available at that moment. This is not a technical inspection and gives no guarantee about the condition of the car. Plateop accepts no liability for decisions you take on the basis of this report. If in doubt, always have a car inspected by an independent expert before you decide.
