Tiles: each year’s median failure mileage. Latest: the 2022; earliest: the 2023, and the 2022 is 1 year older (part of the gap is age). 2 of these years carry fewer than 30 reports with an odometer reading and show no median at all, rather than one computed from a handful.
The short answer
“Is the 2022–2025 Honda Civic reliable?”
- Median of reported failures
- 16,000 mi
- 90% of reports came by
- 58,000 mi
- Reports with mileage
- 119
- Recalls
- 8
At least 40% of this generation’s complaints came after 2020, so its median likely runs low (why).
Most reported
- Steering76.5% of complaints · median 20,000 mi
- Forward collision avoidance8.2% of complaints
- Lane departure7.5% of complaints
Owners filed 1,544 complaints with NHTSA about the 2022–2025 Honda Civic; the steering leads with 76.5% of them, and half of the 119 that record an odometer reading came by 16,000 miles — complaints, not a failure rate.
40% of complaints that record mileage fall within the first 12,000 miles, against 0.8 reports per 1,000 miles between 20,000 and 80,000. On a generation this new that is expected: few examples have been driven further yet, so the timing says little about design or wear so far.

How many miles does a 2022–2025 Honda Civic last?
The newest model years (2024–2025) are too young to have reached high mileage; most reports with an odometer reading come from the earlier years of the generation.
On the 2022–2025 Honda Civic, half of the 119 complaints that record an odometer reading were filed by 16,000 miles and 90% by 58,000 miles (why that is not a lifespan).
1 report came in past 150,000 miles and 1 past 200,000 — each one proof that a Civic reached that mileage, not that it failed there.

Known problems with the 2022–2025 Civic
General 2022–2025
Too recent for well-established systemic failure patterns; complaint volume is dominated by infotainment, driver-assist false activation and early-build fit-and-finish rather than powertrain defects. No coupe was offered in this generation.

Civic problems by model year
The 2022 drew the most complaints of this generation, 961, most of them about the steering, and the 2025 the fewest, 105. A typical year drew about 239.
That makes the 2022 stand out at roughly 4.0 times a typical year (what a yearly count can and cannot say).
