HONDA CR-V2018 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 at 39,882 miles. While the test initially failed that same day due to ineffective windscreen wiper blades on both the nearside and offside, this minor defect was rectified immediately. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as there are no structural failures or serious mechanical de-registrations recorded across the last three years of testing. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a gap of roughly 4,200 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests and another 3,900 miles thereafter. This low-intensity usage typically suggests less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, though such low-mileage vehicles can occasionally suffer from the degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the record flagged thinning rear brake pads in February 2024 and worn front brake discs in March 2025. Although these were not described as excessive at the time, the recurring nature of these notes indicates the components are nearing the end of their service life. A physical inspection should check for uneven pad wear and ensure that the calipers are not seizing, given the low annual mileage. Additionally, verify the condition of the wiper blades and the motor to ensure the 2026 failure was fully resolved with quality parts rather than a temporary fix.
