2009 Honda Insight 1.3L Petrol · YP09 FWR

The vehicle presents a current roadworthiness status with a stable but reactive maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 21 May 2025 at 113,887 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior. This suggests that any mechanical issues identified by the tester were addressed immediately to meet compliance standards. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three successful tests indicates that the vehicle currently meets minimum safety requirements despite its age. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 113,887 miles reflects an annual average of approximately 6,700 miles. This figure aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage patterns, which generally reduces the mechanical wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 6,700 miles covered between June 2023 and May 2024, and another 6,000 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity that often lead to seal degradation or corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the underbody, as older Honda Insights are susceptible to corrosion in specific areas. While the MOT record is currently clean of advisories, the recurring failures in 2024 and 2025 without listed defects may imply that minor consumable items, such as bulbs or minor leaks, required immediate attention to pass testing. Inspect the brake system for binding calipers and the condition of rubber suspension components, as low mileage does not protect against age-related perishation or oxidation of metal surfaces.
