2022 Honda HR-V Advance I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · CV71 NFG

The most recent MOT test conducted on 22 December 2025 resulted in a pass, though it introduced specific advisories regarding tyre wear. Comparing this to the previous year's clean certificate, the maintenance trend indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where consumable components are reaching their service limits. While the vehicle remains legally roadworthy, the transition from a defect-free record to tyre advisories suggests that the owner will soon need to address routine wear and tear to maintain safety standards and avoid future failures. With a recorded mileage of 25,733 over approximately four years, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 6,433 miles per annum. This represents a relatively low usage profile, which is generally beneficial for the long-term integrity of the hybrid drivetrain and engine components. However, lower mileage can occasionally mask issues related to component stagnation. You should ensure that the vehicle has not been subject to excessively long periods of standing, as this can lead to uneven tyre flat-spotting or the degradation of rubber seals and fluids. The specific advisories regarding the offside and nearside rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges require careful inspection. During a test drive, pay close attention to any signs of uneven tread wear or scalloping, which could suggest issues with suspension geometry, worn bushes, or incorrect camber settings. Listen for any consistent humming or droning from the rear of the vehicle, which may indicate tyre deformation. You should also inspect the front tyres to ensure the wear pattern is consistent, as rear-end wear can sometimes be a symptom of broader alignment issues affecting the entire chassis. Given the vehicle's age and usage pattern, further physical checks are advised. Inspect all tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or cracking, which can occur due to age regardless of tread depth. Check the brake discs for excessive corrosion or pitting, particularly if the car has been used sparingly, as this can lead to binding calipers or reduced braking efficiency. It is also vital to confirm that the service history includes time-based fluid changes, such as brake fluid and coolant, which are critical for hybrid systems. Finally, verify the condition of the 12V battery, as low-mileage vehicles are more susceptible to voltage drops that can affect electronic systems.
