165 real MOT outcomes analysed • 65.2% first-time pass rate

1993 Honda Integra

CarHunch analysed 165 real MOT records for the 1993 Honda Integra. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 1993 Honda Integra passes MOT at 65.2%, well below the UK average of 80%, and one in five of these cars has had a dangerous defect recorded—a real concern for safety-conscious buyers. Petrol engines dominate this cohort and the weak pass rate reflects the challenge of keeping a 30-year-old sports car roadworthy.

These Integras are running at around 120,000 miles on the clock, which is reasonable for their age, but they're averaging 2.44 failures per test and 7.8 advisories, suggesting aging brakes, suspension, and trim are common issues. Before buying, budget for immediate remedial work and plan for twice-yearly inspections rather than the standard annual MOT—these cars need active maintenance to stay safe.

What to check before buying a 1993 Honda Integra

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • ⚠️ 20% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
