2016 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · DC66 ACY

The Honda CR-V presents a broadly roadworthy profile based on its most recent DVSA test on 14 May 2025 at 78,426 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects or advisories. Maintenance trend across the available records reads as stable, with consecutive passes in May 2022, May 2024 and May 2025. A curious anomaly appears on 11 May 2023: the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at 62,085 miles, both entries showing no defects recorded. This duplicate suggests an administrative or data-recording irregularity rather than a mechanical deficiency. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 53,891 miles at the 16 May 2022 test to 62,085 miles by 11 May 2023, then to 69,985 miles on 17 May 2024 and 78,426 miles on 14 May 2025. Annual increments of roughly 8,000 miles indicate consistent private or light commercial operation with no prolonged standing or abrupt high-use spikes. The sparse but clean history offers little evidence of neglected consumables, though only annual snapshots exist. Prospective buyers should still commission a physical inspection of core structural and mechanical elements that MOT summaries may omit. At this age, suspension bushes, coil springs and brake disc wear warrant hands-on checks despite absence of advisories. The tester should examine subframe and sills for corrosion, verify exhaust emissions under load, and confirm structural integrity around mountings. The unexplained 2023 failure entry merits a VOSA explanation or inspection of any prior rectification paperwork.
