2012 Honda CR-Z 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · ND62 URN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in March 2026 at 110,180 miles, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in reactive repairs. While the most recent test was successful, the car had failed just nine days prior at the same mileage due to significantly worn front brake discs and worn suspension bushes on both sides. This indicates that the previous owner only addressed critical mechanical faults once they reached the point of legal failure, rather than performing preventative maintenance on visible wear-and-tear components. At approximately 14 years old, the recorded 110,180 miles average to roughly 7,870 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a hybrid coupe. The mileage data shows consistent use, with a 7,850-mile gap between October 2024 and October 2025, and another 7,430 miles covered between October 2025 and March 2026. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the hybrid battery health and rubber-based seals. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the record shows recurring issues with lower arm bushes, ball joint dust covers, and track rod ends across the last three years. The 2024 test specifically flagged corrosion on both rear coil springs, which should be checked for structural integrity or fractures to ensure the rust has not progressed beyond surface level. Given that the brake discs progressed from an advisory-level wear in 2025 to a significant failure in early 2026, the current thickness of the pads and rotors should be verified to ensure they are not nearing immediate replacement.
