2004 Honda Integra 2.0L Petrol · FA54 XLP

The most recent MOT test on 2026-02-28 confirms the vehicle passed without defects at 179,425 miles, maintaining a consistent pattern of clean results over the past two tests. There is no evidence of recurring advisories or major mechanical failures in the available record, suggesting the vehicle has been subjected to regular roadworthiness checks without significant issues arising between tests. The absence of defects in the latest test indicates the current condition meets the minimum DVSA standards, though this does not preclude underlying wear that may not have been detected during the inspection. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 3,313 miles between the 2025-03-25 tests (from 176,110 to 176,112), followed by a more substantial 3,313 miles to the 2026-02-28 test at 179,425. This pattern suggests consistent use rather than prolonged neglect, though the gap between the 2025 tests appears unusually short—potentially indicating a retest rather than genuine mileage accumulation. The overall annual average of around 8,156 miles aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though it implies significant wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. Binding or uneven brake calipers or worn brake discs should also be checked, as these are common failure points in older Honda Integras. Structural corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe, warrants close examination, especially if the vehicle has experienced wet or salted road exposure. The absence of advisories in recent tests does not guarantee these areas are intact, so visual and functional checks are essential. Oil and coolant condition should be verified, as leaks or contamination can indicate neglected maintenance.
