Honda: what MOT records show
MOT records show 79.0% of Honda cars pass the MOT first time, 5.5 points better than the national average for cars of the same age (73.5%). Counted from 93,412 DVSA tests; a pass with rectification at the station counts as a pass here, and as a failure in DVSA's own initial-test measure.
Compared against cars of the same registration years. A car with only minor defects or advisories still passes; a major or dangerous defect is a fail. Class 4 tests in Great Britain, test type NT (a normal annual test), retests excluded. A pass, or a pass with rectification at the station, counts as a first-time pass; DVSA's own initial-test measure counts a rectified pass as a failure and so reports a lower figure. Testing in Northern Ireland is run separately by the DVA under its own rules.
Figures from MOT tests carried out in 2025. Sampled from nine months of 2025 (January, February, April, May, July, August, September, October and November).

Honda in the UK — what to know
Honda has a relatively modest franchised dealer network in the UK compared with the volume brands, but coverage spans every region and is backed by independent Japanese-car specialists. Hondas have a strong reliability reputation, and the Jazz in particular is popular with older drivers.
Known issues — what to check before you buy
These are the issues most commonly flagged by UK mechanics and forum reports for used Honda cars. Use them as a checklist on viewing.
Honda 1.6 i-DTEC diesel (Civic FK / CR-V Mk4–Mk5) (2013+)
Camshaft end-float — owners and independent specialists report excessive camshaft end-float causing a metallic rattle from the cylinder head. Ask for evidence of any camshaft inspection or repair, and have a specialist listen to the engine before you buy; an engine repair can run to several thousand pounds.
Honda 1.6 i-DTEC DPF (2013+)
Well-documented data point: a Honda main dealer can quote around £4,400 to replace a 1.6 i-DTEC DPF, vs roughly £2,000 at an independent. Over-sensitive to short trips. Use DPF cleaner additive every 2–3 months as prevention.
Honda 1.5 VTEC Turbo petrol (Civic FK7/FK8, CR-V Mk5) (2017–2022)
Oil dilution — unburned fuel washing into the oil, mostly reported on 2017–2018 production. Watch the dipstick for a rising level and a fuel smell, and ask whether any Honda software update or oil-dilution repair has been carried out.
Honda 2.2 i-CTDi (older Accord / CR-V Mk3) (2008–2012)
5th in-exhaust regen injector fails. Clutch + dual-mass flywheel typically need replacing at 150,000 miles.
Honda Civic Mk8 "FK1" 2.2 i-CTDi (2006–2011)
Particulate filter pre-EGR-cooler prone to clogging. Most surviving examples have either had the DPF removed (illegal — MOT visual check) or replaced. Walk away from 200,000+ miles Civic Mk8 diesels without verifiable DPF history.
Honda CR-V Mk4 2.0 petrol auto (2012–2018)
Torque converter shudder at light throttle 40–60 mph. Honda issued a fluid-change TSB.
Best years to buy used in the UK
• CR-V Mk4 (2012–2018) 1.6 i-DTEC manual — only with evidence of camshaft inspection or repair and DPF history. • Jazz Mk3 (2015–2019) 1.3 i-VTEC — simple, proven petrol; in DVSA's MOT records the Jazz passes first time more often than the average car of the same age. • Civic FK7 (2017–2021) 1.0 VTEC Turbo manual — small 3-cyl turbo far less affected by the 1.5's oil dilution. • Jazz Mk4 e:HEV (2020+) — Honda's i-MMD hybrid, very smooth and reliable so far.
Years to avoid
• 1.6 i-DTEC anything (Civic, CR-V) without evidence of camshaft inspection or repair and DPF history. • 2017–2018 Civic 1.5 turbo and CR-V 1.5 turbo (oil dilution). • 2.2 i-CTDi anything pre-2013 with no DPF service history. • Civic Type R FN2 / FK2 with extreme track-day mileage — clutch and brake replacement costs are punishing.
Running a used Honda in the UK
Parts & servicing
Notably expensive. Honda parts must usually be ordered, not next-day. Indicative UK pricing (ex-VAT): front brake pads (Civic FK) £110–£150; front discs (pair) £180–£240; DPF replacement (1.6 i-DTEC, dealer) £4,000–£4,500; 5th injector (2.2 i-CTDi) £500–£700 + labour; full service (Civic) £300–£400 dealer / £180–£230 indie. Aftermarket is decent — Honda is huge globally so parts cross-shop from European Honda specialists. Independent Japanese-car and Honda specialists across the UK can cover most service and DPF work.
Common MOT failure points
Specific Honda MOT items: DPF visual presence check on older diesel Civics/CR-Vs (a car whose factory-fitted DPF has been removed fails); Civic FK self-levelling headlight sensor failures; CR-V 4WD side slip after kerb damage.
Our top Honda picks for UK buyers right now
Honda Civic FK7 1.0 VTEC Turbo Sport manual
2018
Three-cylinder turbo avoids the 1.5's oil dilution. Brilliant chassis. Honda reliability without the diesel risk.
Honda CR-V Mk4 1.6 i-DTEC SE Plus manual
2017–2019
Only buy with a full Honda service history that shows the camshaft has been inspected or repaired. The manual 1.6 is the sweet spot.
Honda Jazz Mk4 e:HEV EX
2021–2022
A simple, well-proven hybrid supermini, and spacious for its size.
Buyer's pro tip
Used Hondas often cost more on retail forecourts than in private sales. Buying private (or from a non-Honda used specialist that doesn't apply the brand markup) can save real money. But Honda parts can be expensive enough that a future £4,400 DPF bill wipes out that saving in one repair — so buy private, but pay £150 for an independent pre-purchase inspection from a Honda or Japanese-car specialist. Money well spent.
Honda buying questions, answered
Is the Honda DPF cost really that high in the UK?
It can be. A Honda main-dealer DPF replacement quote on the 1.6 i-DTEC can reach around £4,400, versus roughly £2,000 at an independent. Independent Honda and Japanese-car specialists can sometimes clean a clogged DPF for £450–£650 — worth trying before a full replacement.
Which Honda has the best reliability record in the UK?
The Jazz. In DVSA's MOT records it passes first time more often than the average car of the same age. The CR-V Mk4 1.6 i-DTEC manual is the SUV pick, provided there is evidence the camshaft has been inspected or repaired.
What's the Honda 1.6 i-DTEC camshaft issue?
Owners and independent specialists report excessive camshaft end-float developing over time, causing a metallic rattle from the cylinder head. A repair out of warranty can run to several thousand pounds, so before buying a 2013+ 1.6 i-DTEC Civic or CR-V ask for evidence the camshaft has been inspected or repaired, and have a specialist listen to the engine.
Are Honda parts available outside the main dealer in the UK?
Yes, but with caveats. Honda is a huge global brand so parts cross-shop from European specialists is robust. Service parts (filters, oil, brake pads/discs) are readily available aftermarket. Major mechanical parts (DPF, gearbox, ECU) usually have to be ordered from UK Honda dealer parts departments — adding 5–10 days lead time on some items.
Is the Honda Civic Type R a sensible used buy in the UK?
Only if you're a committed enthusiast. Type R FK8 (2017–2022) sits at insurance groups 33–42; FL5 (2023+) is similar. UK premiums under-25 routinely refused or above £4,000/yr. For 30+ drivers with full no-claims: £1,800–£3,500. Maintenance costs (track-use tyres, brakes, fluids) are high. Residuals are strong for clean low-mileage examples; track-day cars depreciate hard.
Should I buy a Honda from a small UK independent or a Honda main dealer?
Both have trade-offs. Main dealer: warranty extension via Honda Approved, but a higher price. Small independent: cheaper price, but you're responsible for any DPF or DPS issues yourself. The strongest play is often to buy private with a pre-purchase inspection from a Honda or Japanese-car specialist (£150), which verifies the condition.
