What Honda Nx650 failures look like

2,654 Honda Nx650 tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 405 tests (15.3%), with brakes on 348 tests (13.1%) and with lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment on 262 tests (9.9%). A test can fail on more than one thing, and an MOT can be failed on one defect while another is only advised, so these counts do not add up to the number of tests.

Narrowed down from the categories to the individual defects themselves, three come up on more than one test:

  • Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge

    MOT inspection manual reference 5.2.3, in axles, wheels, tyres and suspension

    Recorded on 140 of the 2,654 tests: 24 failures and 116 advisories or minors.

  • Exhaust noisy

    MOT inspection manual reference 8.1.1, in nuisance (emissions and noise)

    Recorded on 139 of the 2,654 tests: 2 failures and 137 advisories or minors.

  • Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened

    MOT inspection manual reference 1.1.14, in brakes

    Recorded on 119 of the 2,654 tests: 8 failures and 111 advisories or minors.

Where there is enough data to compare: Honda Civic (3,304,167 tests), Honda Jazz (3,298,034 tests), Honda CR-V (2,105,761 tests), Honda Accord (412,263 tests), every Honda model (12,198,152 tests).

Clauses are read from the manual reference at the end of every defect on the cached test records, and a defect shown here has to appear on at least two of them before it is named. The site-wide breakdown explains how that works and compares every make.
