Sports
Honda · on record 1994 to 2025
The Honda Sports entry looks primarily like a registration or type approval label rather than a model name commonly used by British buyers. The Sports wording is too abbreviated to identify one Honda model confidently and may represent a motorcycle or specialist machine. The Sports remains useful as a separate census label, but a more exact interpretation should wait for additional registration or vehicle evidence.
Red List classification, from population, five year trajectory and survival against peak. Reviewed each census.
2025 census
66.7% of the peak fleet remains licensed
peak 6 in 2000 · 0 vehicles a year, five year trend
Population history
Licensed and SORN vehicles at each census. The filters below apply to the family population, MOT and registration figures. They do not alter the generation history above.
Inside the surviving fleet
AutoCensus parses every DVLA variant description, so the fleet can be read by fuel and specification rather than as one number.
First registrations by year
When surviving examples first joined the British fleet.
New registrations
Vehicles first registered each year. A fleet still being sold shows here; a finished one shows only imports.
MOT reliability
DVSA test results for this family, 2005 to 2025.
| Failure reason | Failures | Share of all tests |
|---|---|---|
| The grooves of the tread pattern are not at least 1.6mm throughout a continuous band comprising the central three-quarters of the breadth of tread, and round the entire outer circumference of the tyre | 8 | 5.8% |
| The calculated parking brake efficiency is too low | 6 | 4.3% |
| A stop lamp inoperative or less than 50% of the light sources illuminating | 5 | 3.6% |
| A wiper blade insecure, missing or in such a condition that it does not clear the windscreen effectively to give the driver an adequate view of the road (through the windscreen) to the left and right sides of the vehicle, as well as to the front | 5 | 3.6% |
| An insecure, split or missing steering rack gaiter | 5 | 3.6% |
| Deliberate modification which significantly reduces the original strength, excessive corrosion, severe distortion, a fracture or an inadequate repair of a load bearing member or its supporting structure or supporting panelling within 30cm of any sub- | 5 | 3.6% |
| Steering rack gaiter or ball joint dust cover damaged or deteriorated | 4 | 2.9% |
| An outer constant velocity joint gaiter missing, split or insecurely mounted to it's housing | 3 | 2.2% |
Counted across every recorded test, 2005 to 2025. Advisories are excluded.
Where the Sports remains
Based on MOT test locations, 2025. Test location is a proxy: a vehicle is counted where it was last tested, not where it is kept.
| Postcode area | Vehicles tested | Pass rate |

| RH | 1 | 100% |
| GL | 1 | 100% |
| SG | 1 | 100% |
How this record was calculated
Full methodology
Population history combines DVLA VEH0120 Q4 census observations through 2013 with the annual VEH0220 census from 2014 onward. Figures before 2014 cover Great Britain only. Historical VEH0120 is used only when its overlapping UK observations reconcile to the current canonical family definition. Vehicles are grouped into this family using the DVLA GenModel together with durable routing rules for known inconsistencies.
Variant figures are parsed from raw DVLA model descriptions and the original string is always retained. Configuration is only assigned where the model description explicitly identifies it; a blank configuration is not treated as a two door Wrangler. Blank transmission fields are shown as manual because DVLA records the field for automatic vehicles.
MOT figures count tests, not vehicles, and geographic figures count each vehicle at its most recent test location. The decline projection is a straight line fitted to the latest five years and is illustrative only.
