2022 Honda HR-V Advance Style I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric · 5 OOS

The Honda HR-V presents a stable and reassuring maintenance profile. The most recent MOT on 1 May 2026, conducted at 23,500 miles, resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged a Nearside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit and worn on edge. The previous test on 13 May 2025 at 18,376 miles was entirely clean with zero defects recorded. This indicates a resolving trend from a baseline of full compliance to a minor, easily rectifiable consumable issue, rather than a worsening mechanical condition. The vehicle has covered approximately 5,124 miles over the twelve-month interval between the two tests, bringing the total recorded mileage to 23,500. This equates to a low annual average of roughly 5,875 miles per year for a four-year-old vehicle. Such low mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain and structural components, but it also raises the possibility of prolonged standing, which can cause flat-spotting on tyres or sticking brake components. The mileage accumulation is steady and consistent with light, regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. The sole advisory from the May 2026 test is the Nearside Front Tyre. An inner or outer edge wear pattern on a tyre of this nature often points to a tracking or alignment issue, specifically excessive toe or camber misalignment, rather than simple under-inflation. A buyer should inspect the inner sidewalls of all four tyres for uneven wear and check the condition of the front suspension bushes and ball joints, as worn geometry components are a common cause of this wear pattern on the HR-V platform. Beyond the tyre advisory, the clean pass at 18,376 miles and the subsequent pass at 23,500 miles suggest the braking system, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity remain sound. A prospective buyer should still verify the condition of the rear brake discs and pads, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from surface corrosion from standing. The CVT transmission fluid condition should also be confirmed, as Honda recommends periodic changes that may be overlooked on low-mileage vehicles.
