2018 Honda HR-V 1.5L Petrol · AF68 WRR

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 at 32,829 miles. The maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward minor defects in late 2025 which have have been addressed. While the 2025 test identified several issues regarding consumables and suspension components, the lack of defects in the latest inspection suggests that the previous owner responded to the flagged advisories, maintaining a stable mechanical profile. At eight years old, the recorded mileage of 32,829 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,100 miles per annum. The usage pattern appears consistent with a gap of roughly 6,600 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests. Such low mileage typically indicates less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it often exposes rubber-based components to age-related degradation rather than friction wear, as evidenced by the tyre issues noted in the record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear shock absorbers, as the 2025 test flagged light oil misting on both offside units. Although these did not cause a failure, misting often precedes a total seal failure and fluid leak. The front brake discs should also be examined for pitting or scoring, which was noted in 2025, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from corrosion on braking surfaces when stationary for long periods. The tyres require close scrutiny regarding their age. The 2025 report highlighted cracking and perishing on the rear tyres, while the 2023 entry noted a nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit. These findings suggest the rubber may be hardening due to age rather than tread depth. Beyond these consumable items, the history shows no evidence of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, suggesting the chassis remains sound.
