The HONDA CIVIC (2006-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.2 CTDI 140 TYPE S is a three-door diesel hatchback with a sportier edge. In the UK’s medium-sized hatchback market, it balances everyday practicality with distinctive, futuristic styling, giving buyers an alternative to familiar rivals such as the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. mycarcheck.com recorded 408 checks covering 222 VINs, a substantial pool of interest in this model. Across those checks, the average private-sale valuation was £1,400, with average recorded mileage of 138,000 miles and annual mileage of 7,000. The typical car had changed hands around five times, so condition and history deserve close attention. The 2.2-litre diesel suits longer commutes and motorway trips, while the three-door layout is best for singles, couples or small households rather than passengers needing frequent rear-seat access. Type S trim gives the Civic a more purposeful character; compare service records, mileage and condition carefully when choosing a used one.
