2012 Honda Unknown 1.3L Hybrid electric · MV12 FNU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in December 2025 at 64,765 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional position lamp, incorrect headlamp aim, and significant tyre wear. While the vehicle passed immediately after these corrections, the presence of multiple failures suggests that the owner only addresses issues when prompted by a tester rather than performing routine inspections. At 14 years old, the recorded 64,765 miles represent remarkably low annual usage, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Between the December 2024 test at 56,073 miles and the December 2025 test, the vehicle covered roughly 8,700 miles. This low-frequency usage pattern often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and seals, which can perish or crack despite the low mechanical mileage on the drivetrain. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the December 2025 failure noted both front tyres worn away on the inside edges. This specific defect typically indicates incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension components that will continue to scrub through tyres if not rectified. Additionally, the 2024 advisory regarding thin front brake pads necessitates a thorough check of the current pad thickness and disc condition to ensure they have not been neglected during the long periods of standing. Given the misted headlamp lens noted in 2025, verify the light housings for internal moisture or seal failure that could compromise night-time visibility.
