HONDA HR-V2016 · 1.6L Diesel

The 2016 Honda HR-V presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT on 2025-09-11 at 114,749 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the vehicle’s MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of passing and failing on the same date, such as the 2025-09-11 pass and 2025-09-10 fail, both at identical mileages. This inconsistency suggests potential issues with testing procedures or unresolved minor faults that did not meet failure criteria. No structural, braking, or emission-related defects were noted in the latest test, indicating the vehicle remains compliant with safety standards. The mileage of 114,749 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 11,475 miles over its 10-year lifespan, reflecting typical wear for the model. The 2024-09-16 tests at 99,225 miles show a similar pass/fail cycle, while the 2023-09-14 test at 85,473 miles recorded a clean pass. The absence of defects in the most recent assessment suggests no significant mechanical decline, though the repeated testing without recorded issues raises questions about the consistency of previous evaluations. The data lacks detailed fault descriptions, limiting insight into potential underlying concerns. A buyer should prioritize an in-person inspection of the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these are common issues in older models. Corrosion risks, especially in the exhaust system or underbody, warrant scrutiny, as they may not surface in MOT tests. The lack of detailed defect reports in the history underscores the need for a thorough mechanical check to confirm the vehicle’s continued reliability.
