2011 Honda FIT 1.3L Hybrid electric · BP60 YCZ

The Honda Fit’s most recent MOT, conducted on 15 October 2025 at 80,305 miles, confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This represents a stable maintenance trend over the past five tests, with no recurring failures or advisories beyond the isolated, non-critical issues from June 2022. The vehicle’s consistent pass status suggests it has been subject to regular servicing, though the absence of advisory notes in recent tests means potential wear—such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake caliper binding—has not been explicitly flagged. The latest test’s clean bill implies the previous owner addressed the 2022 track rod end dust cover deterioration and tyre wear, as no related faults reappeared. The recorded mileage of 80,305 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 5,354 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. This pattern suggests either minimal usage, extended periods of storage, or a combination of both. The most notable gap occurs between the June 2022 and November 2022 tests, where mileage increased by just 1,504 miles in five months—an average of 300 miles per month—before jumping to 12,781 miles in the following year. Such fluctuations could indicate inconsistent driving habits or periods of inactivity, which may have allowed minor corrosion or fluid degradation to develop undetected. Given the 2022 advisories for deteriorated track rod end dust covers and front tyre wear, a buyer should prioritise inspecting the front suspension components for further degradation, particularly the track rod ends and associated bushes. The dust cover failures suggest moisture ingress could have compromised internal lubrication, risking premature wear or failure. Tyre condition remains a concern; while the 2022 issues were addressed, the legal limit is a narrow margin, and uneven wear patterns may indicate alignment or balance issues. Additionally, the lack of recent advisories does not preclude wear in other areas—such as rear suspension bushes, brake discs for uneven thickness, or corrosion in wheel arches or subframe areas—so a thorough visual and functional check of these components is essential. The absence of emissions-related failures in recent tests is reassuring, but a smoke test or visual inspection of the catalytic converter would confirm no internal damage.
