2010 Honda Stepwagon 2.0L Petrol · FM10 VRE

The 2010 Honda Stepwagon presents as roadworthy following a pass on 12 June 2025 at 175,823 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the only blemishes being two administrative failures on 3 June 2025 and 8 June 2023, both at identical mileages to the subsequent passes and both listing no defects. This pattern indicates the vehicle was presented for test, failed on a non-mechanical basis, and passed one day later once the paperwork or minor presentation issue was resolved. No worsening faults or recurring mechanical advisories appear across the five-year record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,989 miles, in line with typical use for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The records show 147,653 miles in June 2023, 162,868 miles in June 2024, and 175,823 miles in June 2025, equating to about 15,000 miles covered between each test. The accumulation is steady with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The sparse history of only five entries means deeper interim wear between tests is undocumented, but the clean pass outcomes suggest the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and 175,823-mile total. The MOT data flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet Japanese imports of this era commonly suffer underbody rust where road salt exposure occurs. Verify the absence of binding calipers and check exhaust emissions against current limits during a cold start. Given the two defect-free failures preceded immediate passes, suspect the previous owner deferred minor consumable checks like wiper blades or tyre tread until test day rather than neglecting core mechanical care. Inspect the tyres and screen wash in person, but the official record shows no serious mechanical risk requiring withdrawal from purchase consideration.
