2018 Honda CR-V 1.5L Petrol · AP68 KCE

This vehicle demonstrates a consistent track record of roadworthiness, having secured consecutive passes without any recorded mechanical defects since its first recorded test in 2021. The most recent inspection on 17 August 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no advisories, following a similar result in September 2025. While a single advisory regarding an obstructed adult seatbelt was noted in August 2024, the absence of any structural, braking, or suspension failures throughout the documented history indicates a stable mechanical profile according to DVSA standards. The recorded mileage of 50,470 miles over approximately eight years equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 6,309 miles. This usage pattern is relatively low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it has not been subjected to the high-frequency mechanical wear typically associated with heavy motorway use or high-mileage urban commuting. From a mechanical standpoint, this lower annual mileage means that components such as the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and exhaust system have likely experienced fewer duty cycles than a higher-mileage equivalent, though it also implies the vehicle may have spent more time in stationary or short-trip conditions. Given the absence of recorded defects or mechanical advisories in the recent history, there are no specific component failures to target for inspection. However, the single advisory from 2024 regarding the offside rear child seat obstructing the adult seatbelt inspection was a non-mechanical issue that prevented a full assessment of that specific belt. On a test drive, you should still verify the integrity of all seatbelt pretensioners and buckles, ensuring they retract smoothly and lock securely, as the previous obstruction meant the full functionality of that specific belt was not formally verified by the tester. Because the mileage is lower than the national average for a 2018 registration, focus your physical inspection on checking for any signs of fluid weeping from the engine or gearbox, as vehicles used for shorter distances can sometimes exhibit minor oil misting or seal issues. While the MOT history shows no issues with the braking system or suspension, listen for any unexpected knocks or knocks from the suspension linkages or coil springs when navigating uneven surfaces, and ensure the brake pedal feel is firm and consistent without any pulsation or judder, providing a baseline for the vehicle's current mechanical state.
