2016 HONDA HR-V1.6L Diesel

The vehicle maintains a generally stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 28 February 2026 at 93,981 miles. While the car passes, the history reveals a pattern of deferred maintenance regarding consumables and suspension components. The transition from clean test results in the early years to recurring advisories for braking and suspension parts indicates that the vehicle is now entering a phase where more proactive mechanical intervention is required to maintain reliability. Annual mileage accumulation has remained relatively consistent throughout the vehicle's life, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. The jump from 70,532 miles in February 2024 to 79,542 miles in February 2025 shows a steady usage pattern, followed by a more significant increase of nearly 14,500 miles leading up to the February 2026 test. This accelerated usage in the final year suggests the vehicle has been subjected to more frequent daily operation, which likely contributed to the wear noted in the most recent inspection. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension, specifically the lower arm bushes, which were flagged as worn during the 2026 test. Although these did not result in a failure, they will require replacement in the near future to prevent handling degradation or uneven tyre wear. The brake system also warrants a thorough check, given the history of recurring thin pads and worn discs recorded between 2022 and 2025. Verify the current condition of the discs and pads to ensure they do not require immediate replacement, and check the tyres for the edge wear and perishing noted in previous years to confirm they have been rectified with quality replacements.
