2016 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · CP16 UPS

The 2025 MOT for the 2016 Honda CR-V shows two minor issues: a non-obligatory rear stop lamp failure and front brake pads wearing thin. Both were addressed in the subsequent test, but the stop lamp issue recurred in 2023, indicating a persistent electrical or component fault. The 2024 MOT noted brake disc wear (front and rear) but classified it as non-serious. These findings suggest gradual brake system degradation, likely due to normal use rather than aggressive driving. The vehicle’s mileage of 59,935 miles over 10 years equates to roughly 5,994 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could imply infrequent use or periods of inactivity, which might lead to component stiffness or fluid degradation. However, the MOT history shows no major defects beyond brake and lighting issues, suggesting the car has been well-maintained despite its low mileage. The trend in defects appears stable. Brake wear has been consistently noted but not escalated, and stop lamp failures have been recurring but non-critical. There is no evidence of worsening issues over time, though the brake components will require monitoring.
