How many miles will a 2001 Passport last?
The 104 mileages owners gave run from 115 to 250,000 miles. A quarter are at or under 80,000 miles, half at or under 100,000, three quarters at or under 124,700 and nine in ten at or under 150,000; 52 (50%) came after 100,000 miles, 9 (9%) after 150,000 and 1 (1%) after 200,000.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2001 Passport wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.

Common problems with the 2001 Passport
NHTSA's file holds 134 owner complaints on the 2001 Honda Passport. Owners named the body structure most often: 70 complaints, and half of the 68 that list a mileage came after 102,000 miles. A complaint can name more than one component.
| Component (NHTSA category) | Complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Structure | 70 | 68 | 102,454 |
| Suspension | 34 | 28 | 100,000 |
| Vehicle Speed Control | 12 | 3 | Under 5 mileages |
| Fuel System, Gasoline | 8 | 8 | 72,000 |
| Power Train | 6 | 4 | Under 5 mileages |
Of the 134 complaints, 10 report a crash, none reports a fire and 5 report an injury (6 people reported injured). These are owners' reports to NHTSA, not findings.
Is the 2001 Passport a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2001 is a good or a bad Passport: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2001 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
With 134 complaints, the 2001 ranks 3rd of the 9 Honda Passport model years from 1994 to 2002 with 10 or more complaints, counting from the most. The most: the 1998 (229). The fewest: the 2002 (23).
NHTSA files the Honda Passport name for 1994–2002 and 2019–2026. A gap of three or more model years means the name covers different vehicles, so the 2001 is compared only with the 1994–2002 model years.
Recent model years have had less time to collect complaints, so their counts are still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.
| Model year | Owner complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1994 Passport | 36 | 3 | Under 10 mileages |
| 1995 Passport | 60 | 14 | 154,200 |
| 1996 Passport | 41 | 15 | 138,441 |
| 1997 Passport | 56 | 17 | 99,800 |
| 1998 Passport | 229 | 70 | 114,000 |
| 1999 Passport | 228 | 97 | 98,000 |
| 2000 Passport | 102 | 66 | 102,000 |
| 2001 (this page) | 134 | 104 | 100,000 |
| 2002 Passport | 23 | 11 | 116,500 |

2001 Honda Passport recalls
NHTSA's recall files of November 11, 2026 list 3 recall campaigns that name the 2001 Honda Passport. A campaign covers a production range, not every vehicle of the model year: check the VIN with NHTSA's free recall lookup.
What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2001 Passport lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2001 Passport.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- 30 of the 134 complaints on the 2001 Honda Passport give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
- NHTSA name counted: PASSPORT. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only this one.
- Recall-file name matched: PASSPORT.
