- Honda ranked first in the 2025 What Car? Reliability Survey with a score of 96.6%.
- Survey based on 32,493 owners, covering 30 brands and 227 models.
- Jazz, HR-V, and Civic led Honda’s strong performance in fault rates and repair costs.
Honda Motor Europe (UK) is proud to announce that it has secured first place in the respected 2025 What Car? Reliability Survey. With an impressive overall score of 96.6%, Honda has once again demonstrated its commitment to engineering excellence and customer satisfaction.
The survey results are based on feedback from 32,493 owners of vehicles aged up to five years old, covering 30 brands and 227 different models. Participants were asked whether their vehicle had experienced any faults in the previous 24 months. Faults were then assessed based on repair duration and cost, with the final score expressed as a percentage.
Honda’s top ranking was driven by strong performances from key models including the Jazz, HR-V, and Civic, all of which showcased exceptional reliability and minimal downtime.
“This is an incredible achievement and one we are extremely proud of at Honda,” said Rebecca Adamson, Head of Automobile at Honda Motor Europe (UK). “Reliability is a cornerstone of our brand, and this recognition reflects the trust our customers place in us. In 2025 and beyond, we remain committed to delivering vehicles that not only inspire but also stand the test of time.”
What Car? consumer editor, Claire Evans, said: “Honda is a deserving winner of this year’s What Car? Reliability Survey because all five of the models rated gained exceptionally high scores. Best of all was the current HR-V with a rating of 97.5%, followed closely by the latest Civic with 97.3%.”
“Just 15% of the Honda vehicles in the survey had any issues and all were fixed for free by the car maker; more than half of the affected cars were in and out of the workshop in less than a day.”
Honda’s commitment to quality, dependability, and customer care continues to make it a standout choice for drivers across the UK.
