2006 Honda FR-V 2.2L Petrol · AV06 YXC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the lack of recent certification is a significant point of concern. The last recorded test in November 2021 passed with no defects, indicating the car was in a sound mechanical state at that time. However, the failure recorded just nine days prior to that pass at exactly 209,325 miles without listed defects suggests an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test, rather than a deep systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. Between June 2017 and November 2021, the car covered 50,465 miles, showing a steady rate of operation. There is a notable gap in the data following the November 2021 test, meaning the vehicle is now over four years past its last official MOT inspection. This extended period without testing means the current condition of safety-critical components, such as structural integrity, brake lines, and suspension, has not been verified by a tester for years. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as the high mileage of over 200,000 miles accelerates wear on rubber bushes and coil springs. Given the age of the Honda FR-V, checking for corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches is essential. While the MOT history does not show recurring advisories, a manual check of the brake discs and fluid condition is required to ensure that no binding calipers or perished hoses have developed since the 2021 record.
