2006 Honda FR-V 2.2L Diesel · MK06 ABF

The vehicle's documented roadworthiness is currently unverified as the most recent MOT test dates back to December 2022. While the car passed on 8 December 2022 at 152,639 miles, it has not undergone a legal inspection for over three years. The maintenance trend appears stable based on the lack of recorded defects, though the absence of any advisories over several years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for a twenty-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,632 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between December 2020 and December 2021, where the odometer rose from 133,998 to 141,766 miles. However, the vehicle has remained stationary at 152,639 miles since its last pass in December 2022, suggesting a prolonged period of inactivity. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension. Long periods of standing often lead to binding calipers, seized brake discs, and perished rubber suspension bushes. The lack of recorded faults in the MOT history does not guarantee current health, especially given the gap in testing. Particular attention should be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis and sills. Corrosion is a common failure point for Hondas of this era, and any rust that developed since the 2022 test will now be advanced. Checking the condition of the tyres for flat spots or sidewall cracking is also essential due to the vehicle's apparent dormancy.
