2006 Honda FR-V 2.2L Diesel · ML06 LWD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the history indicates a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. The most recent test in December 2021 at 196,101 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just two weeks prior at 195,993 miles. This suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying identified issues to maintain compliance, and the lack of advisories on the final pass indicates no mechanical or structural degradation was noted at that time. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,800 miles per year. Between May 2019 and November 2020, the car covered 22,250 miles, showing a period of higher usage during those eighteen months. However, there is a significant gap between the November 2020 and 2021 tests where only 12,451 miles were logged. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle has gone over four years without its last recorded MOT, which represents a significant risk regarding the current state of rubber components and underbody systems. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the chassis and suspension, as the record ends five years ago. High-mileage Hondas of this era often suffer from perished suspension bushes and worn control arm bolts. The underbody should be checked for structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points. Since the last test was in 2021, the buyer should also inspect for seized brake calipers or perished brake hoses that may have occurred during the extended period of inactivity or recent use.
