2008 Honda Civic 1.4 Petrol – 12 Months MOT – ULEZ – Cheap to Run

Description

HONDA CIVIC 1.4 i-DSi [SE] 5-DOOR – 2008 – PETROL MANUAL
MOT UNTIL NOVEMBER 2027 – ULEZ COMPLIANT – £890

Looks tired. Drives like a Honda. Priced accordingly.

This car is for someone who buys with their head. You need something that
starts every morning, costs little to run and won't need an MOT for a year,
and you don't care what the neighbours think. If you want shiny, this isn't
it – and that's exactly why it's £890.

WHY IT MAKES SENSE
- 12 months' MOT (valid to November 2027): no MOT bill or MOT repairs for a year
- Timing chain, not a cambelt: no belt change to budget for
- 41.6 mpg average showing on the trip computer right now
- Simple 1.4 petrol, no turbo: less to go wrong
- £17/month road tax
- Insurance group 11 (old 1-50 scale): cheap to insure, ideal for new drivers
- ULEZ compliant: no daily charge in London or clean-air zones

MORE SPACE THAN IT LOOKS
- 485-litre boot, big for a car this size
- Honda "Magic Seats": rear seats fold flat for long loads, or the cushions
flip up cinema-style for tall items
- ISOFIX points for child seats
- Cup holders and storage pockets everywhere
- Spare wheel (not just a puncture kit)

EQUIPMENT
- Climate control
- Electric windows front and rear
- Electric heated mirrors
- Steering-wheel audio controls
- CD/MP3 stereo with good sound, plus Bluetooth adapter for music and calls
- Height-adjustable driver's seat and adjustable steering wheel
- Trip computer (mpg, range)

INCLUDED FREE
- Dash cam with Rear Camera & GPS module
- Bluetooth adapter
- OBD diagnostic tool: read fault codes yourself and save on garage checks
- Spare Wheel

THE HONEST BIT – PLEASE READ BEFORE MESSAGING
I'd rather you hear it from me than find it at the viewing. Every fault I
know about is listed here and photographed:
- 194,463 miles. That's high, and it's why the car is under £1,000
- Clear coat faded on the bonnet and peeling on both mirror covers
- Fog light covers missing from the front bumper
- Small scuffs on the front and rear bumper corners
- Air con works but doesn't blow very cold; most likely just needs a regas
- Remote central locking doesn't work; locks and unlocks fine with the key
- Seats and trim show their age [cleaned, but it's a 2008 car]
- Part service history
None of these affect how it drives.

MECHANICALLY
- Starts first time, no warning lights
- Gears change smoothly, slots into every gear easily; clutch is good, no slipping.
- No knocks or rattles; heater and fan work
- Tyres: R16
- Recalls: [no recalls – checked on GOV . UK]
