• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide) come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
• These are the VCA listings we could match to the Honda Civic Type-R by name. The Honda Civic page covers every version.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “Civic 2021”, “Civic Type-R 2023”, “Civic 2020”, “Civic 3 Door”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Honda Civic MOT reliability

In 2025, 67.1% of Honda Civic MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages pass 67.0% of the time, so the Honda Civic does about as well as average for its age.

DVSA's MOT results name the model, not the version, so these figures cover all Honda Civics tested, the Type-R among them. For the full breakdown, including defects in detail and results year by year, see the Honda Civic page.
