2010 Honda Insight 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · PX60 OXK

The 2026‑04‑16 MOT at 92,068 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA roadworthiness standards. Earlier entries reveal a pattern of recurring suspension and tyre faults, indicating that previous owners have not consistently addressed wear items, yet the most recent test shows the car is presently stable rather than deteriorating. Mileage accumulation is modest relative to the 16‑year age, averaging about 5,754 miles per year. However, the record shows two pronounced periods of rapid use: from 30,880 miles in April 2023 to 48,474 miles in May 2024 (a gain of 17,594 miles) and from 68,517 miles in April 2025 to 92,068 miles in April 2026 (a gain of 23,551 miles). These jumps suggest intensive seasonal or commercial use during those intervals, while the intervening years display more incremental growth. Recurring faults centre on suspension components and tyres. Repeated failures of track‑rod end and anti‑roll bar ball‑joint dust covers, worn suspension arm bushes, and severe tyre tread wear with cuts indicate that steering and suspension linkages have been exposed to dirt ingress and may exhibit play or premature wear. The consistent tyre degradation also points to possible neglect of alignment or inflation practices. A buyer should inspect the condition of the suspension bushes, ball joints and their dust covers for excessive play or damage, verify tyre tread depth and check for sidewall cuts or uneven wear, examine brake discs and pads for scoring or corrosion, and assess the chassis and structural members for rust or fatigue. Confirming that recent MOT findings reflect current component health will provide confidence in the vehicle’s ongoing roadworthiness.
