If a Honda Stepwagon fails, does it fail again?

29.9% of Honda Stepwagons that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 26.7% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 780). The failure most likely to come back is ‘noise, emissions and leaks’: 30.4% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

What does a Honda Stepwagon cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Honda Stepwagons tested at age 8, about 40 failed the MOT first time (rough estimate); at age 17, about 46 (rough estimate). These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time (2024).
