Which year to buy? →
The 2002 Honda SGX passes its MOT at 81.7%, marginally above the UK average of 80%, suggesting broadly average reliability for a 22-year-old model—though the 12.3% of vehicles that have suffered dangerous defects is worth noting as a buyer concern. With a median mileage of just 7,391 miles, these are lightly used examples, which partly explains the respectable pass rate and keeps expectations realistic about condition.
The average of 1.63 failures and 4.2 advisories per vehicle tells you these cars need some attention but aren't falling apart; the low mileage means you're more likely buying stored or lightly driven stock than worn-out runners. When shopping, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on fluid leaks and suspension wear, which typically rack up the advisory notices on older Hondas regardless of how little they've been driven.
