2000 Honda Integra — MOT failures & pass rate
Across 524 MOT tests, the 2000 Honda Integra recorded an 82.1% pass rate. That is 8.6 percentage points better than all cars of a similar age, which fail at 26.5%. Failures cluster in lighting & signalling, brakes and suspension.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — lighting & signalling (9.0%) and brakes (8.4%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are catalyst emissions, component mounting prescribed areas and headlamp aim — catalyst emissions alone was recorded 37 times.
Condition tracks the odometer closely. Failures run at 15.0% in the 30-60k band and 26.2% in the 150k+ band, a 11.2-point spread.
Suspension is the most common advisory, noted on 22.7% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

Top advisory categories
Advisories aren't failures, but they flag work likely needed soon — useful when budgeting.
| # | Category | % of tests with advisory | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Suspension | 22.7% | 119 |
| 2 | Brakes | 16.6% | 87 |
| 3 | Body, structure & corrosion | 10.5% | 55 |
| 4 | Tyres | 10.1% | 53 |
| 5 | Lighting & signalling | 9.2% | 48 |
| 6 | Other defects | 8.2% | 43 |
Failure rate by mileage
Higher-mileage cars tend to fail more — often the most useful guide to real condition.
| Mileage band | Tests | Fail rate |
|---|---|---|
| 30-60k | 60 | 15.0% |
| 60-90k | 136 | 12.5% |
| 90-120k | 176 | 20.4% |
| 120-150k | 76 | 19.7% |
| 150k+ | 65 | 26.2% |
Failure rate by age
Trend over time

What to check before buying a 2000 Integra
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: lighting & signalling accounted for 9.0% of tests. Start there.
- Lighting & signalling (9.0% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Brakes (8.4% of tests): Pads/discs are routine wear; binding, imbalance or corroded pipes are more serious — test for pulling under braking. Typical repair: £100–£350 per axle.
- Suspension (6.3% of tests): Worn drop links, bushes, springs or shocks — listen for knocks over bumps and check for uneven tyre wear. Typical repair: £150–£450 per corner.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
