2007 Honda FR-V 1.8L Petrol · CV07 YUY

The 2007 Honda FR-V presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 January 2026 at 161,516 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this clean result follows four consecutive annual passes with no advisories or failures logged since at least February 2022. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,500 miles per year across its life. The records show steady, moderate use: the tester logged 144,062 miles in February 2022, rising to 150,244 by February 2023, 155,956 by February 2024, 158,062 in January 2025, and 161,516 in January 2026. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the spread between tests is consistent and the DVSA data is sparse in faults but clean throughout. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the unbroken pass record. The absence of advisories across five years does not rule out latent wear in suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs that a test centre may not flag until defective. At 161,516 miles the FR-V is past the point where consumables such as tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust components are original, so verify their condition directly. Structural integrity and corrosion warrant hands-on checks given the vehicle's age and winter road exposure. Inspect subframes, sills, and suspension mounting points for rust, and confirm the brake calipers are free from binding. The MOT history implies the previous owner kept basic statutory upkeep current, but no record exists of proactive mechanical refreshment beyond the minimum required to pass.
