2016 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · OX16 ABZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 7 August 2026 at 70,021 miles passed, yet it flagged a worn offside front tyre and a thin front brake pad. This continues a pattern seen over the last three years where consumable components are only addressed once they approach legal or failure limits, rather than being replaced during scheduled service intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. The record shows a clean period between 2019 and 2023 with no defects recorded. However, there is a significant shift in the mechanical condition starting in 2024, where the vehicle covered over 7,000 miles in a single year. The failure in August 2024 at 48,493 miles due to an excessive oil leak from the engine filter also prevented an emissions test, suggesting a lapse in basic fluid maintenance during that specific period. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension geometry. The history shows recurring issues with pitted and scored brake discs and thin pads across both axles, dating back to an imbalanced rear brake requirement in 2022. Furthermore, the 2025 test identified play in the offside rear anti-roll bar ball joint and a worn bush, which can lead to uneven tyre wear and handling instability. Given the frequent reports of tyres worn on the edges across multiple years, a professional alignment check is necessary to ensure the suspension is not causing premature degradation of new tyres.
