2008 Honda FR-V 2.2L Diesel · LR08 FPF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 10 June 2024 at 145,115 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met the required standards. This follows a period of clean passes since 2021, suggesting that the current ownership has proactively addressed any necessary requirements to prevent MOT failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between June 2021 at 115,373 miles and June 2024 at 145,115 miles, the car covered roughly 30,000 miles, representing a steady rate of use. The single failure on 31 May 2022 at 124,806 miles appears to have been an anomaly, as the vehicle passed the retest that same day, implying a minor issue was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus their in-person inspection on age-related wear that does not always trigger a stationary test failure. At 145,000 miles, rubber components such as suspension bushes and engine mounts often show signs of cracking or degradation. The chassis should also be inspected for surface corrosion, particularly around the sills and rear wheel arches, as the MOT record only flags structural integrity issues once rust reaches a specific threshold of perforation.
