If the battery hasn't been replaced it is likely not in the greatest condition. Sadly, it is passed the warranty period so if you did buy it you would have to DIY. That isn't the hardest thing though and we have write ups here.

Another thing to watch out for on the Civics is the CVT transmission. I've seen a few for sale with bad trannies. I'm not sure what it is that goes bad, but it doesn't seem horribly uncommon to have a problem with them.
