2016 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · AX66 RVN

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 10 June 2026. Looking at the historical data, the maintenance trend is remarkably stable, with a consistent record of passes and very few recorded defects. The absence of major failures or recurring mechanical issues suggests a vehicle that has been reasonably well-maintained and has not suffered from significant structural or systemic degradation over its lifespan. With a recorded mileage of 99,473 miles over approximately ten years, the vehicle has averaged nearly 10,000 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for a family SUV of this vintage, indicating that the engine and drivetrain have been used regularly without prolonged periods of standing or excessive heavy-duty accumulation. Such a consistent usage pattern generally avoids the pitfalls of perished seals and battery degradation associated with low-use vehicles, though it means consumables are approaching their mid-to-late life cycles. Regarding specific defects, there is a recurring advisory concerning the high-level stop lamp, appearing in both the 2025 and 2026 tests. While this is a minor electrical fault, its persistence suggests a lack of attention to small maintenance tasks. A prospective buyer should verify the operation of all external lighting and check for any signs of moisture ingress in the rear light clusters. Additionally, the 2022 advisory for a worn nearside rear tyre warrants a close inspection of the current tyre set; look for uneven wear patterns across the tread, which could indicate the need for a four-wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. Given that the vehicle is approaching the 100,000-mile threshold, a comprehensive physical inspection is advised. Listen for clunks or knocks from the suspension during low-speed maneuvers and feel for any shuddering through the brake pedal, which would indicate warped brake discs or binding calipers. Check the service history to ensure that calendar-based fluid changes, particularly the transmission fluid and coolant, have been performed. Finally, inspect the underbody for any surface corrosion and verify the condition of the 12V battery and the integrity of the exhaust system to ensure continued roadworthiness.
