2016 Honda HR-V 1.6L Diesel · DC66 AEK

This Honda HR-V presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 23 July 2025 at 39,957 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed a test two days prior on 21 July 2025, the record lists no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage is exceptionally low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,996 miles per year. The odometer readings show a consistent, slow accumulation of miles, moving from 30,649 in December 2022 to 39,957 in July 2025. This pattern indicates the car has likely seen light urban use or spent significant periods stationary. Because the MOT history is devoid of advisories or failures related to wear and tear, there are no recurring mechanical trends to flag. The lack of mentions regarding brake disc corrosion, suspension bush degradation, or tyre tread wear is unusual for a vehicle of this age, even with low mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check for perished rubber seals, battery health, and potential seizing of brake calipers due to underuse. Given the low annual mileage, verifying the service history for regular oil changes is essential to ensure the engine has not suffered from long intervals between lubricant refreshes.
