2007 Honda FR-V 2.2L Diesel · CU57 AEE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 August 2024 at 162,043 miles with no recorded defects. This result follows a consistent pattern where the car fails a few days before the scheduled test but passes immediately upon rectification. This suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing MOT failures to maintain legal compliance, though the lack of recorded advisories indicates a lack of documented mechanical degradation or structural corrosion in the last three testing cycles. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year over its 19-year life. Between the September 2022 test at 148,189 miles and the August 2023 test at 152,902 miles, the car covered roughly 4,700 miles, while a higher interval of 9,141 miles was recorded between August 2023 and August 2024. This steady usage pattern suggests a typical driving profile which reduces the risk of seized rubber components or perished seals due to standing compared to vehicles left for long periods. Despite the clean MOT sheets, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of components that frequently wear without triggering an MOT failure. Since the record does not list advisories for suspension bushes or brake lines, you should manually check for play in the control arms and rear dampers which are common on Hondas of this era. Inspect the underside for early-stage corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, as the MOT only flags structural integrity once it reaches a specific threshold of decay.
