Honda Stepwagon (2013)
2013 Honda Stepwagon
CarHunch analysed 373 real MOT records for the 2013 Honda Stepwagon. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2013 Honda Stepwagon is notably reliable: it passes its MOT on the first attempt 92.3% of the time, well above the UK average of 80%, and only 5.6% ever develop a dangerous defect — comfortably low for a vehicle this age. There's no meaningful petrol versus diesel split to consider, as this cohort is almost entirely petrol.
At nearly 90,000 miles on average, these Stepwagons show typical mileage for their age, and owners should expect minimal failures (0.27 per vehicle) but plan for routine advisory items (1.4 per vehicle). If you're shopping for one, a pre-purchase inspection is still wise to catch those advisory-level wear items, but this model has genuinely strong fundamentals for a 2013 family MPV.
What to check before buying a 2013 Honda Stepwagon
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.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
