Common Problems: HONDA S2000
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.

- Structural Corrosion(Serious)
Rust in the rear arches, sills, chassis rails, subframes and boot floor is the biggest financial risk on UK S2000s and can easily turn a tidy-looking car into a restoration case.
- Soft-Top Wear and Water Ingress(Moderate)
The hood fabric, seals and frame wear with age, causing tears, leaks and expensive replacements, especially on cars that live outside.
