2008 Honda FR-V 2.2L Diesel · YD08 RFN

The 2008 Honda FR-V presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 21 October 2025 at 90,977 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing clean passes in 2023 and 2024 alongside the 2025 result. A notable pattern emerges in the two failed tests on 20 October 2025 and 4 November 2024, both at identical mileages to the subsequent passes and both listing no defects, which points to administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults. Recorded mileage sits at 90,977 against an 18-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,054 miles per year. The car covered 4,640 miles between the November 2023 test at 82,775 and the November 2024 test at 87,415, then added only 3,562 miles to the October 2025 pass at 90,977. This low annual use suggests light running or periods of storage rather than high-load driving, though standing time can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen. The DVSA record flags no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframe for rust, given the vehicle's age and likely intermittent use. The twin fail-with-no-defect entries imply previous owners addressed paperwork promptly but offer no evidence of skipped consumable upkeep such as tyres or wiper blades. Given the clean test lineage and low mileage, the FR-V shows signs of careful ownership. Verify service history and check for age-related perishing of hoses and suspension mounts that MOT testers may not record as advisories on a pass.
