2019 Honda HR-V 1.5L Petrol · AE69 OAM

The Honda HR-V presents a stable and largely reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 10 November 2025 at 41,286 miles, resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged advisories for both the Nearside and Offside Front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This indicates a developing issue with front tyre wear, likely pointing to misalignment or worn suspension tracking components, rather than a critical structural or mechanical failure. The maintenance trend is fundamentally sound, with no recurring mechanical defects, but the latest advisories suggest a minor lapse in proactive wheel alignment checks. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2019 vehicle. Between the first recorded test on 23 November 2022 at 19,526 miles and the most recent test on 10 November 2025 at 41,286 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 21,760 miles over a three-year period, averaging roughly 7,253 miles annually. This is below the national average and suggests light, regular use rather than long periods of standing. The consistent annual testing pattern, with tests conducted every November, indicates a steady and predictable usage cycle without significant mileage spikes or suspicious gaps. Despite the clean mechanical history, the recurring front tyre wear flagged in the November 2025 test warrants closer physical inspection. Edge wear on both front tyres typically indicates toe misalignment or worn suspension bushes and tracking components. A prospective buyer should inspect the inner and outer sidewalls of the front tyres for uneven wear patterns and check the condition of the front suspension bushes, ball joints, and tie rod ends. The rear brakes and suspension components should also be examined for any signs of corrosion or deterioration, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from seized components due to infrequent use.
