2010 Honda FIT 1.3L Hybrid electric · BP60 YCD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent test in February 2026 at 98,779 miles passed despite an advisory for an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit and on the edge. This suggests a failure to address basic consumable wear prior to the inspection. While the vehicle has passed its recent tests, the recurring nature of mechanical failures shows that faults are only rectified once they cause an MOT failure. At 16 years old, the recorded 98,779 miles represent an average usage of approximately 6,174 miles per year, which is consistent with typical urban commuting. There is a significant mileage gap between the July 2023 test at 77,407 miles and the July 2024 test at 94,291 miles, showing over 17,000 miles in a single year. This burst of activity likely contributed to the accelerated wear of rubber components and suspension parts, as seen in the failures and advisories recorded during that period. A buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, specifically focusing on the track rod end ball joint gaiters. The 2024 test flagged these as misting grease, a precursor to joint failure that can cause steering play and instability. Furthermore, the 2023 failure regarding nearside rear and offside rear tyres being perished and unevenly worn on the inner edges points to a potential alignment issue or worn shocks that has not been explicitly resolved. The buyer should verify the anti-roll bar linkages for any signs of play or torn boots, as these were a point of failure in 2023.
