Honda NSX MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Honda NSX cars in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Honda NSX engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 262 Honda NSX cars licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 47.3% have an engine of 2,901cc to 3,000cc, and 29.8% have an engine of 3,401cc to 3,500cc. The share with an engine of 3,401cc to 3,500cc has grown from 0.0% in 2014 to 29.8%. Petrols made up 100.0% of those licensed in 2014 and 70.2% in 2025.

  • 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.
  • 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 “NSX”, “NSX (2000 YM)”, “NSX (2002 YM)”, “NSX (2001 YM)”. How we use VCA’s figures.

All 3 Honda NSX recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Honda NSX. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.

  • Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
  • Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
  • First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
  • Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
