Honda MOT pass rates and common failures

Honda MOT data — common questions
Does a good Honda MOT pass rate mean the car is reliable?
- No. MOT pass rate is not a reliability rating. It is the share of recorded DVSA tests that passed for that Honda model in this 5–10 year band. It does not prove breakdowns, repair cost, or the condition of one seller’s car.
Which Honda models have the most MOT tests on this page?
- The four highest-volume models in this age band are Jazz (91.7% pass rate, 447k tests); Civic (88.1% pass rate, 321k tests); CR-V (90.4% pass rate, 247k tests); HR-V (90.6% pass rate, 135k tests). Pass rate is a test outcome, not a ranking of the most reliable car.
Is this Honda page a registration MOT check?
- No. This is make and model research from aggregated DVSA tests. For one vehicle, use GOV.UK MOT history. Use Compare to put two models on the same age band.
