Honda Civic Shuttle Gl Auto (1988)
1988 Honda Civic Shuttle Gl Auto
CarHunch is tracking 219 1988 Honda Civic Shuttle Gl Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
Every single one of the 219 Honda Civic Shuttle GL Autos in this dataset failed its MOT, compared to the UK average pass rate of 80%, which is a red flag that these vehicles are fundamentally struggling with age and condition. With a 0% first-time pass rate and zero dangerous defects recorded, the failures appear widespread but not catastrophic—suggesting systemic wear rather than critical safety issues.
These are 1988 models now in their late 30s, and the complete absence of passes indicates they're either approaching end-of-life or require substantial remedial work before they're roadworthy. If you're considering one of these vehicles, budget for serious repairs and have a trusted mechanic inspect it before purchase—a 0% pass rate means you're not looking at a quick fix.
We have 219 1988 Honda Civic Shuttle Gl Auto vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1988 Honda Civic Shuttle Gl Auto
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.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
