2017 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · CU67 WWY

A consistent record of clean MOT certificates over the last five years marks a period of uninterrupted roadworthiness, following a more complex testing history in 2020. While the most recent test on 01 August 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, the vehicle previously exhibited several advisories related to braking components and tyre condition. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories since 2021 suggests that the mechanical issues identified during the 2020 inspection have since been addressed or have reached the end of their advisory status. The vehicle has covered 76,583 miles over its nine-year lifespan, averaging approximately 8,509 miles per year. This mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. From a mechanical perspective, this level of usage suggests that components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain elements are subject to standard wear patterns rather than the accelerated degradation seen in high-mileage vehicles or the potential stagnation issues associated with very low-mileage use. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system, given the history of nearside rear brake pads wearing thin, sticking, and causing heat buildup, alongside advisories regarding worn rear and front brake discs. During a test drive, it is essential to check for any pedal judder or vibration under braking, which could indicate disc thickness issues or warping. Additionally, listen for any unusual noises or feel for binding when the vehicle is in motion, as the previous record of sticking pads suggests the calipers or sliding pins may have required attention to ensure free movement. The 2020 record also flagged tyre issues, specifically sidewall perishing and uneven wear on the nearside rear. While the recent clean history implies these were replaced, a physical inspection of the current tyres is necessary to ensure there is no evidence of sidewall cracking or irregular wear patterns that could indicate underlying suspension or alignment faults. Furthermore, the previous advisory regarding an engine cover under the car should be verified to ensure all undertrays and protective shielding are currently secure and correctly fitted to prevent wind noise or debris ingress.
