2011 Honda Fit MOT pass rate: 85.1% (2,473 tests)
Is the 2011 Fit getting worse?
Pass rate of 2011-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 88.5% +18.4 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 85.2% +16.3 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 82.6% +14.2 vs same-age |
The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

What mileage is too high for a 2011 Fit?
The median tested example shows 59,632 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
