Honda Ctx MOT Reliability Overview
The Honda Ctx is a rare vehicle in the UK, with 526 MOT test results recorded in our database spanning 2 manufacture years. It has an overall MOT pass rate of 95.4% and a failure rate of 4.6%, which is well above the UK average of approximately 37%.
Based on this data, the Honda Ctx earns a "Excellent" reliability rating. The average Honda Ctx presents for MOT with approximately 12,692 miles on the clock. Manufacture year matters: 2014 models achieve the highest pass rate at 95.9%, while 2015 models have the lowest at 95.0%. This 0.9 percentage point difference suggests notable variation in build quality or component durability across production years.
The most common MOT failure for the Honda Ctx is Motorcycle tyres, affecting 2.1% of all tests. Tyre failures include tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and incorrect tyre pressure. Tyres are one of the most common and easiest-to-prevent MOT failures. The second most common issue is Motorcycle brakes at 1.9%. Motorcycle lighting and signalling rounds out the top three at 0.6%. Together, these top 3 failure categories account for a significant portion of all MOT failures for this model.

Use our detailed year-by-year breakdown and failure analysis below to understand how your specific Ctx is likely to perform.
Motorcycle tyres — 2.1% of failures
Motorcycle tyres issues account for 2.1% of MOT failures on the Honda Ctx. Tyre failures include tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and incorrect tyre pressure. Tyres are one of the most common and easiest-to-prevent MOT failures. Typical repair costs: £50–200 per tyre. Pre-MOT check: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.
Motorcycle brakes — 1.9% of failures
Motorcycle brakes issues account for 1.9% of MOT failures on the Honda Ctx. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. Typical repair costs: £150–400. Pre-MOT check: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm).
Motorcycle lighting and signalling — 0.6% of failures
Motorcycle lighting and signalling issues account for 0.6% of MOT failures on the Honda Ctx. Motorcycle lighting and signalling issues are a common cause of MOT failure. Regular inspection and maintenance of these components helps ensure your vehicle passes its MOT. Typical repair costs: £100–400. Pre-MOT check: Have this system checked during regular servicing. Look for warning signs like unusual noises, vibrations, or dashboard warning lights.
