2000 Honda Logo — MOT failures & pass rate
2,555 MOT tests on the 2000 Honda Logo are in this dataset, and 74.7% of them passed. That is 1.4 percentage points better than all cars of a similar age, which fail at 26.7%. Failures cluster in lighting & signalling, suspension and body, structure & corrosion.
What the MOT record shows
Lighting & signalling dominates the failure mix at 13.7% of all tests — 3.6 points clear of suspension, so it is the first thing to check.
At component level the recurring items are component mounting prescribed areas, headlamp aim and headlamp — component mounting prescribed areas alone was recorded 315 times.
A 150k+ example is materially riskier than a 0-30k one: 39.6% versus 13.6%.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: tyres was flagged on 26.9% of tests without failing them.
The trend is worsening — 24.6% of tests failed in 2021 against 28.9% in 2025, the usual pattern as a fleet ages.

Top advisory categories
Advisories aren't failures, but they flag work likely needed soon — useful when budgeting.
| # | Category | % of tests with advisory | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tyres | 26.9% | 687 |
| 2 | Suspension | 26.5% | 677 |
| 3 | Brakes | 22.6% | 578 |

| 5 | Other defects | 15.8% | 405 |
| 6 | Lighting & signalling | 14.0% | 358 |
Failure rate by mileage
Higher-mileage cars tend to fail more — often the most useful guide to real condition.
| Mileage band | Tests | Fail rate |
|---|---|---|
| 0-30k | 110 | 13.6% |
| 30-60k | 674 | 21.5% |

| 90-120k | 517 | 26.9% |
| 120-150k | 252 | 32.5% |
| 150k+ | 101 | 39.6% |

What to check before buying a 2000 Logo
On a 2000 Logo, lighting & signalling is what the MOT record says goes wrong most — it appeared in 13.7% of tests. Check these areas before you commit.
- Lighting & signalling (13.7% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Suspension (10.0% 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.
- Body, structure & corrosion (7.7% of tests): The one to take seriously on older cars — corrosion to structural areas can be costly and is an MOT failure. Typical repair: £200–£1,500+.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
