2016 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · BO55 JEG

The 2016 Honda CR-V presents a stable and generally sound mechanical picture as of its most recent MOT on 3 September 2025 at 81,882 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, with no serious structural or safety-critical failures recorded across the entire five-year history. The most recent test flagged two minor advisories: a wearing-smooth brake pedal rubber and an offside rear tyre worn on its inner edge. These are consumable items, not mechanical defects, and the vehicle passed without any failure. The pattern shows a car that has been kept in reasonable order, with no recurring or worsening faults. The mileage progression is consistent and typical for a ten-year-old vehicle. From 49,319 miles on 7 September 2021 to 81,882 miles on 3 September 2025, the car covered roughly 32,500 miles over four years, averaging about 8,100 miles annually. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the record. The annual tests are well spaced, each occurring within a few days of the anniversary, suggesting a single owner or a disciplined keeper who maintained the schedule without interruption. The recurring theme across the record is tyre wear, specifically uneven wear on inner edges. In September 2023 at 65,587 miles, both front tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit and on the edge, and the nearside rear was similarly noted. By September 2025, the offside rear tyre showed the same inner-edge wear. This pattern points to possible misalignment or worn suspension bushes and tracking issues rather than simple neglect. A buyer should have the suspension geometry checked, inspect the condition of the front and rear suspension bushes, and examine the tyre wear patterns across all four corners. The brake pedal rubber wearing smooth is a minor cosmetic advisory, but it does indicate the pedal surface is wearing faster than expected. Combined with the under-trays noted as fitted in 2024, the car appears to have been driven carefully, likely on shorter or mixed journeys. A buyer should still inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, check the condition of the under-trays for damage or missing fixings, and verify that the exhaust and structural underside remain free of corrosion, as no recent test has explicitly cleared those areas beyond the standard inspection.
