2006 Honda FR-V 2.2L Diesel · RO55 RRM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in October 2021 at 79,475 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This suggests that the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a high standard and that it has not suffered from the mechanical failures or structural degradation that typically affect a twenty-year-old Honda. The mileage pattern is notably low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between April 2017 and October 2021, the car covered only 11,866 miles, indicating very low-frequency use. There is a slight gap between the April 2019 and October 2020 tests where the vehicle covered only 3,540 miles in 18 months. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to perished rubber components or seized brake calipers if the car sits for long periods. Given the lack of recorded advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on issues common with low-mileage, older vehicles. Pay close attention to the condition of rubber parts, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls which may show signs of cracking rather than tread wear. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion on the arches and sills, as the MOT test only flags structural rust once it reaches a significant threshold. Ensure the brake discs are not heavily pitted from inactivity, which often occurs on cars used infrequently.
