2020 Honda CR-V 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · RK20 AKO

This Honda CR-V has maintained a consistently clean MOT history across all five tests, with no defects or advisories recorded since its first inspection in March 2023. The most recent pass, dated March 2026 at 64,729 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though it is now just over three months past its due date. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or advisory trends in the record, suggesting previous owners adhered to basic maintenance intervals. However, the absence of defects does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-stress components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers—which are not routinely checked during an MOT. The mileage progression indicates typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 10,800 miles annually. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in the record; the most recent test occurred just 11 months after the previous one, which aligns with the standard 12-month MOT cycle. The vehicle’s recorded mileage remains well within expected parameters for a six-year-old model, though buyers should verify whether the odometer has been tampered with, as no service or repair records are available to cross-reference. Given the lack of MOT advisories, priority should be given to inspecting suspension components—particularly the rear bushings and coil springs—for excessive wear or cracking, as these are common failure points at this mileage. The brakes should be scrutinised for uneven pad thickness, binding calipers, or warped discs, especially if the vehicle exhibits uneven stopping or a pull to one side. Structural integrity is another concern; the underbody, wheel arches, and sills should be examined for corrosion, particularly in areas prone to salt damage if the vehicle has been driven in northern or coastal regions. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive rust, as catalytic converter failures are increasingly common in this model range. A thorough inspection of these areas will provide clearer insight into the vehicle’s true condition beyond the MOT’s limited scope.
