2009 Honda Insight 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · GY09 AEZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT test on 28 November 2025 at 147,922 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both March 2025 and November 2025, the vehicle failed the initial test but passed upon rectification on the same day. This suggests that minor non-compliance issues are being addressed promptly prior to retesting rather than indicating deep-seated mechanical neglect. At approximately 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 147,922 miles represents an annual average of roughly 8,700 miles. This aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent operation, with 11,493 miles covered between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests, and another 13,879 miles covered between March 2025 and November 2025. This regular interval indicates the car is not sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the hybrid battery system and rubber components. While the MOT history is clean of recorded defects, the repeated same-day failures suggest the owner only repairs faults when mandated by law. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the rear arches where these models often suffer. Given the age and mileage, a close look at the suspension bushes and the condition of the brake calipers is necessary, as the record does not capture the gradual wear of these components until they reach a failure threshold.
