2018 HONDA HR-V1.5L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 67,932 miles passed with only minor defects involving a non-obligatory stop lamp and a nail in the nearside front tyre. This follows a significant failure in March 2025 where the car failed on multiple tyre and brake issues, suggesting that consumables are often neglected until reaching critical limits. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. The progression from 25,710 miles in early 2021 to 67,932 miles in 2026 shows steady operation without long periods of inactivity. However, the gap of nearly 9,000 miles between the February 2024 and March 2025 coincides with a cluster of wear-related failures, indicating that the vehicle undergoes stress on rubber and braking components during those intervals. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the tyres, as the record shows a recurring trend of perishing, cracking, and structural damage to the rubber dating back to 2022. The failure in 2025 regarding a nearside rear brake pad being below the 1.5mm limit indicates that the braking system may not be monitored regularly between tests. Consequently, the entire braking assembly should be checked for uneven wear or caliper leaks, as the history suggests the owner only addresses these components when they fail an inspection. While no structural corrosion or suspension failures have been flagged, the repeated tyre-related defects suggest the suspension geometry and bushes should be verified for premature wear.
