2022 Honda HR-V Advance I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric · AV71 KTD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT test in January 2026. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable, the transition from a clean record in the previous year to multiple advisories indicates a shift. The tester flagged all four tyres for damage, cracking or perishing, suggesting that the rubber compound is beginning to degrade due to age or environmental exposure rather than tread-related wear. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between the January 2025 test at 14,276 miles and the January 2026 test at 16,306 miles, the car covered only 2,030 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle has been used for short trips or sat for extended periods, which aligns with the perishing noted on the tyres in the latest test despite them likely having significant tread depth. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres to determine if the cracking is deep into the sidewalls, necessitating immediate replacement. Given the low mileage, the brake discs should also be checked for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when vehicles are driven infrequently. The hybrid system and CVT components show no red flags in the history, so the focus remains on the age-related degradation common in low-mileage cars of this vintage.
