2008 Honda FR-V 1.8L Petrol · FH08 AMX

The 2008 Honda FR-V presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 126,544 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 5 July 2024 at 110,066 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared successive annual examinations without outstanding advisories. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eighteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,030 miles per year against the recorded 126,544 miles. The records show 99,939 miles on 25 June 2022, 102,485 miles on 6 June 2023, then 110,045 miles at the failed test on 4 July 2024 rising to 110,066 miles the next day for the pass, and finally 126,544 miles by September 2025. The gap between the two 2024 entries reflects a same week retest rather than a mileage anomaly, and the annual increments of three to sixteen thousand miles indicate ordinary use without prolonged standing or excessive commercial wear. The only blemish is the failure on 4 July 2024 at 110,045 miles, where the DVLA entry lists no defects recorded against the failure. This administrative quirk suggests a documentation error or a withdrawn test rather than a mechanical fault, given the immediate pass next day with zero advisories. No tester ever flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the five year span. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and consumable items before purchase. The clean MOT history offers no evidence of binding calipers, worn tyres, or chassis rust, but at 126,544 miles the original dampers, exhaust system, and timing components warrant verification. The absence of advisories implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet age related degradation on a 2008 FR-V will not appear on a pass certificate without fault.
