About the 1993 HONDA CIVIC CRX

The 1993 HONDA CIVIC CRX is a small family car with a 1488cc petrol engine. 175 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2026, making it a rare model on UK roads. Among all cars from 1993, the average MOT pass rate is 76%, and this model falls short of that benchmark.

With an average of 103,207 miles at 33 years old, HONDA CIVIC CRX owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.

1993 HONDA CIVIC CRX Fuel Costs

The 1488cc petrol engine offers a reasonable balance between performance and economy. Expect around 42 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £1,137 per year at current petrol prices of 142p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year).

What does it cost to own a 1993 HONDA CIVIC CRX?

Buying a Used 1993 HONDA CIVIC CRX

At 33 years old, the HONDA CIVIC CRX is firmly in budget territory. Purchase prices are low, but check for rust, worn suspension bushes, and electrical gremlins. A full service history is especially valuable at this age.

Common Issues to Watch For

Based on the 1993 HONDA CIVIC CRX's fuel type, age, and engine size, these are the most likely problem areas to check.

Rust and Corrosion

Watch out

At 10+ years, check wheel arches, sills, subframe, and brake lines for rust. Structural corrosion is an MOT failure. Prevention is far cheaper than repair.

Suspension Bushings

Watch out

Rubber suspension bushes harden and crack with age, causing knocking noises and vague handling. A full refresh costs £300-£800 depending on the car.

Clutch Wear

Watch out

With an average of 103k miles, clutch replacement may be due (typical lifespan 60,000-100,000 miles). Budget £400-£800 for a new clutch kit.

Brake Discs and Pads

Medium risk

High-mileage cars often need brake disc replacement, not just pads. A full set of discs and pads costs £200-£500 per axle.

Service History

Low risk

Always request a full service history. Regular servicing is the single best indicator of how well a car has been maintained, regardless of mileage.
