Honda Integra: MOT pass rate and reliability data

The Honda Integra passes its MOT first time more often than the average UK car, by 10.4 percentage points. These figures come from the DVSA's full year of anonymised MOT results, covering 1,330 individual Honda Integra tests. Nothing here is an estimate or a survey.

The numbers

First-time pass rate87.1%
UK national average76.7%
Difference+10.4 points
Tests analysed1,330
Average mileage at test105,667 miles
Average year of manufacture2004
Reliability rank1,094 of 2,005 models

What this means if you are buying one

A 87.1% first-time pass rate means roughly 13 in every 100 Honda Integras presented for MOT fail on the first attempt. That is better than average, so a well-kept example is a reasonably safe used buy. The average Honda Integra tested had covered 105,667 miles and was built around 2004.

What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. The Honda Integra sits 10.4 points above the national average, ranked 1,094 of 2,005 models. On one bought as repairable salvage, the mechanical side is less likely to spring surprises, so your repair estimate should hold up reasonably well.

Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.

Looking at a specific Honda Integra rather than the model in general? The free check covers its MOT and mileage history, and the full HPI report confirms the insurance write-off category, outstanding finance and whether it is recorded stolen, from licensed data for 5 credits. Already own one that has been damaged? Work out whether fixing it beats selling it with the repair or scrap calculator, and see recorded closing bids for damaged Honda Integras at UK salvage auction.

Most common MOT failures on a Honda Integra

  1. Emissions levels exceed the manufacturer's specified limits, 1.7% of tests (6.38x the national rate for this defect)
  2. Emissions levels exceed default limits, 2.1% of tests (5.97x the national rate for this defect)
  3. Lambda coefficient outside the default limits or the range specified by the manufacturer, 1.9% of tests (3.69x the national rate for this defect)
  4. The strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any sub-frame, spring or suspension component mounting (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired, 1.1% of tests (1.2x the national rate for this defect)
  5. Parking brake efficiency below minimum requirement, 1.5% of tests (1.16x the national rate for this defect)
  6. The aim of a headlamp is not within limits laid down in the requirements, 2.5% of tests
  7. A suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn, 2.3% of tests
  8. An obligatory rear fog lamp missing, or a front or rear fog lamp inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning, 1.1% of tests (2.4x the national rate for this defect)
  9. A headlamp or light source missing, inoperative or more than ½ not functioning in the case of LED, 1.1% of tests
  10. Steering rack gaiter or ball joint dust cover missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc, 1.1% of tests (1.42x the national rate for this defect)

From 1,326 DVSA-tracked Honda Integra tests, 2024. DVSA testers marked 2.83% of these flagged Honda Integra defects as "dangerous", meaning the tester judged the car unsafe to drive away, against 5.11% nationally.

Most common MOT advisories on a Honda Integra

An advisory doesn't fail the car - the tester flags it as worth watching, but it still passes. A different list from the failures above: what testers are noting on a Honda Integra before it actually fails on it.

  1. Exhaust noise levels in excess of those permitted, 1.5% of tests (24.65x the national rate for this advisory)
  2. Product on the lens or light source which obviously reduces light intensity or changes emitted colour to other than white or yellow, 2.5% of tests (2.25x the national rate for this advisory)
  3. The strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any sub-frame, spring or suspension component mounting (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired, 2.9% of tests (1.89x the national rate for this advisory), also fails
  4. Vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is seriously reduced, 1.7% of tests (1.39x the national rate for this advisory)
  5. A spring or spring component fractured or seriously weakened, 5.7% of tests (1.2x the national rate for this advisory)
  6. A suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn, 14.3% of tests, also fails
  7. Tyre tread depth not in accordance with the requirements, 11.4% of tests
  8. A tyre seriously damaged, 6.7% of tests
  9. Brake pipe damaged or excessively corroded, 5.4% of tests
  10. Brake disc or drum excessively weakened, insecure or fractured, 5% of tests
