2021 Honda Civic value

By Hari Vinayak · Updated 2026-06-12

Quick answer

A 2021 Honda Civic in good condition with average mileage (about 62,500 miles) is worth roughly $13,050 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $12,000 to $14,100, or about $15,000 at a dealer. 2021 is not on our years-to-avoid list, so condition, history, and maintenance matter more than the model year here.

What to check before you pay

  • 2016–2021 1.5T engines: oil dilution in short-trip, cold-climate use — look for documented oil changes and a fuel smell in the oil
  • 2006–2011 (8th gen): engine block cracking near the coolant passage — check for coolant loss history and whether the block was replaced under Honda's extended warranty
  • 2016+ AC condenser and compressor failures — confirm the AC blows cold and ask about repairs
