| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |
|---|---|---|
| Hybrid | 80.7% | 1,537 |

Why the fuel type changes the number
No exhaust, no emissions test and far fewer moving parts, which is why EVs post the highest pass rates of any fuel type. Tyres and suspension take the load instead, since they are heavier.
On the Honda Cr-Z specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 80.7%, and this electric version sits 1.1 points below the 79.5% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The electric Honda Cr-Z fails more often than the model average, so budget for the items that catch this fuel type and treat a fresh MOT as worth paying for. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average electric Honda Cr-Z had covered 96,590 miles at test, against 85,190 for the hybrid and 95,784 for the petrol. That is above average and into the range where cambelts and water pumps are due if they have not already been done, so ask for the service history rather than take the mileage on trust.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Honda Cr-Z page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
