2009 Honda Insight 1.3L Other · AF09 JHL

The 2009 Honda Insight presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 6 November 2025 at 150,112 miles, and the maintenance trend reads as stable with no live defects carried forward. The record shows two failed tests in late 2023 and October 2025, yet both failures logged no recorded defects, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. Prior to those, the car passed cleanly in October 2024 at 146,630 miles and October 2023 at 145,308 miles. At roughly 17 years old the Insight has covered 150,112 miles, an average of about 8,830 miles per year, which is typical for the age and suggests steady rather than abusive use. Mileage moved only 1,322 miles between the October 2023 pass and the October 2024 pass, then 3,482 miles to the November 2025 pass, showing no rapid accumulation or long dormant periods. The sparse, defect-free history gives little evidence of neglected consumables, though the two no-defect failures remain unexplained by the data supplied. A buyer should still confirm in person why the vehicle failed on 12 October 2023 at 145,272 miles and again on 16 October 2025 at 150,065 miles with no defects listed, as DVSA systems occasionally omit minor advisory notes. Given the age and mileage, inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue, and check structural integrity underneath for corrosion around sills and subframes. The hybrid drivetrain and exhaust emissions should also be scanned for fault codes, since the MOT record does not capture in-use reliability.
