Honda ZR-V MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Honda ZR-Vs 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 ZR-V registrations over time

Registrations of Honda ZR-Vs for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 5,083 in 2024. In 2025, 940 were registered.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

Honda ZR-V fuel economy and CO2

The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Honda ZR-V from 2025, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2025 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol hybrid versions ranges from 48.7 to 49.6 mpg, with CO2 of 130 to 132 g/km.

  • 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.
  • 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 name “ZR-V Hybrid 2023”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Honda ZR-V safety recalls

DVSA lists 4 safety recalls for the Honda ZR-V since 1992, the first in 2024. The most recent was launched on 31 March 2025.

22-25M Civic and Other Models EPS Gear Box Worm Wheel Swelling Failure 6JP

Launched 31 March 2025 DVSA recall R/2025/024 Manufacturer ref. 6JP

Defect
On affected vehicles ​due to decrease of the grease amount in the worm wheel gear meshing area of the EPS gear box during use the sliding resistance at the meshing area increases and the torque fluctuation when turning the steering becomes larger resulting in an abnormal noise or a dangerous sticking occurs when turning the steering.​
Remedy
For the Honda Civic (FL4 FE1) CR-V and ZR-V models replace the worm gear pre-load spring with a countermeasure part and add grease. For the Honda Civic Type R (FL5) model replace the Steering Gearbox with a countermeasure part.

All 4 Honda ZR-V recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Honda ZR-V. 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.
