Insight summary

Honda Nc is a very rare model in this snapshot, with 4,787 represented vehicles and 0.01% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 90.6% from 31,111 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 64. The current pool shows an average of 24,610 miles and an average age of 8.8 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 27,555 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, and the most frequent defect themes are tyre condition, wheel bearing has excessive play and brake pads. The practical read is that the Honda Nc looks a little better than average, but still rewards careful checks on mileage and maintenance.
