2006 Honda Elysion 3.0L Petrol · CT56 GDO

The 2006 Honda Elysion presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 March 2026 at 213,647 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following clean passes on 18 February 2025 at 212,674 miles and 12 February 2024 at 210,182 miles. The vehicle shows consistent mechanical condition across the last four successful examinations. Mileage sits at 213,647 against a 20-year lifespan, equating to roughly 10,682 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a Japanese people carrier of this age. The records show a single failure on 8 November 2023 at 210,119 miles, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Annual accumulation is modest, with only 1,528 miles added between November 2022 and the 2023 test, and around 9,500 miles across the following two years. The sparse history carries no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition given the vehicle's age and 213k mileage. The clean MOT run offers no flagged wear on coil springs, binding calipers, or tyre tread, but high-mileage Hondas of this era commonly develop subframe rust and worn trailing arm bushes not always caught in a test lane. Verify the 2023 failure cause in person, as the nil-defect record leaves the rejection reason unstated. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory testing without lapse. The absence of repeat advisories suggests no neglected consumable pattern such as skipped wiper blades or tyres. Given the Elysion's 2.4 litre drivetrain, inspect the automatic gearbox and coolant system for age-related degradation not covered by MOT scope.
