2009 Honda Insight 1.3L Petrol · CV59 TKD

The 2009 Honda Insight presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 July 2025 at 33,173 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT results across the available history. Annual mileage sits well below typical averages for a seventeen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 19,606 miles in August 2021, rising to 22,344 by August 2022, 24,944 by July 2023, 29,639 by August 2024, and 33,173 by July 2025. That equates to roughly 1,950 miles per year, confirming long-term light use with no sudden accumulation or standing gaps between tests. The DVSA data contains no advisories or failures across any entry, so the history alone gives no warning of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. Low annual use over many years can allow brake calipers to seize, tyres to crack through age rather than wear, and suspension bushes to harden without showing on a pass certificate. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories is reassuring, but Honda Insight rear trailing arm mounts and underbody seams warrant close checking for road salt damage given the vehicle's age. Verify the hybrid battery condition and 12-volt auxiliary battery health, as neither falls under MOT scope yet degrades on low-mileage cars left idle. Confirm service records match the low mileage, since sparse use can mask skipped oil changes and brake fluid renewal.
