Honda Civic Crx (1993)
1993 Honda Civic Crx
CarHunch analysed 728 real MOT records for the 1993 Honda Civic Crx. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 1993 Honda Civic CRX has a first-time pass rate of just 66.5%, well below the UK average of 80%, and nearly a quarter of these cars (23.5%) have recorded dangerous defects on their MOT history—a genuine safety concern for any buyer. Petrol engines dominate this model, so the weaker overall pass rate reflects real structural issues rather than fuel-type variation.
At an average mileage of 106,133 miles for a 31-year-old car, these CRXs have been well-used, and the high advisory count of 13.1 per vehicle suggests widespread wear across suspension, lighting, and trim components. Before committing to one, insist on a full inspection of the braking system and suspension, and cross-check the MOT history for patterns of repeat failures on the same vehicle—this will tell you whether you're looking at a maintained example or one that's been left to deteriorate.
What to check before buying a 1993 Honda Civic Crx
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 23.5% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
