The HONDA CIVIC (2009-12) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 I-VTEC 99 EU5 SI-T I-SHIFT AUTO6 is a five-door family hatchback in the UK’s mainstream small-car class, alongside models such as the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. It combines a practical cabin and easy access with a distinctive, futuristic look, making it a more characterful choice than many conventional rivals. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 14 checks across seven different VINs, so the figures are a useful snapshot rather than a broad market survey. Those checks show an average private-sale value of £2,400, average recorded mileage of 117,000 miles and annual mileage of 5,000; cars had around three previous keepers on average. The 1.4-litre petrol engine and I-SHIFT automatic make this Civic suited to commuting and family duties, especially for drivers seeking automatic convenience. Its roomy, flexible interior and Honda’s reputation for reliability are attractions; check service history and gearbox behaviour carefully before buying.
