Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- CVT Transmission JudderModerate
Early Mk2 models with CVT can suffer from jerky acceleration or "hunting" for gears if fluid hasn’t been changed.
- Diamond-Cut Alloy Wheel PittingModerate
The diamond-cut alloy wheels are prone to corrosion and pitting, which Honda has replaced under warranty on many examples. Check the condition carefully as replacements are expensive.
- Front Suspension Ball Joint WearModerate
Front lower arm ball joints can wear prematurely, leading to clonking noises over bumps and vague steering feel. This is a common MOT advisory.
