Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
When viewing this vehicle, your primary focus should be on the underside and the sills. The 2025 MOT failure specifically highlighted 'excessively corroded' mounting areas on the offside rear sill, which was downgraded to 'not considered excessive' in the subsequent pass, but the underlying issue remains a concern for a 20-year-old diesel vehicle.
Negotiate based on the immediate maintenance required. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyres being worn close to the legal limit (noted in 2022, 2024, and 2025), suggesting that tyre maintenance may not be a priority for the current owner. Ensure you check the full service history for timing belt changes, which are critical on this 2204cc diesel engine, though this cannot be confirmed via MOT records alone.
As a 2.2L diesel, running costs will be influenced by fuel economy and the potential for higher maintenance costs associated with older diesel components. Tax and insurance groups will vary depending on the specific trim level, but the larger engine size typically places it in a mid-range bracket.
Expect typical maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age, including regular suspension work and tyre replacements, given the history of wear. The estimated annual running cost is likely to be higher than a smaller petrol equivalent due to the engine displacement and the recent trend of MOT advisories.
A thorough inspection of the sills and suspension mounting points is essential. The MOT history for May 2025 recorded corrosion on the nearside rear outer suspension component mounting and a previous failure regarding excessive corrosion on the offside rear sill. You must check if these areas have been treated or if the structural integrity is compromised.
Additionally, inspect the suspension bushings and links. The records show a history of issues with the nearside rear upper suspension arm bush and anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. Finally, check the condition of all four tyres, as the MOT history shows a recurring pattern of tyres being worn close to the legal limit on both the nearside and offside fronts.
This 2006 silver Honda FR-V with the 2.2L diesel engine has covered 120,844 miles as of May 2025. While it has a history of passing MOT tests, the most recent records indicate escalating issues with suspension components and structural corrosion on the sills. The vehicle has seen a steady increase in mileage, rising from approximately 82,000 miles in 2022 to over 120,000 miles in 2025.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Honda FR-V to provide a specific model reputation.
