2018 Honda CR-V 1.5L Petrol · DU68 OBE

A remarkably consistent history of clean MOT passes characterizes this Honda CR-V, punctuated only by occasional consumable wear and culminating in a clear pass on August 19, 2026. Across six recorded tests, the vehicle has never suffered a single MOT failure, indicating that foundational systems have maintained basic roadworthiness without triggering statutory structural or mechanical rejections. The recurring patterns are limited entirely to consumable items such as tyres and brake pads, showing an absence of chronic structural corrosion, brake fluid leaks, or suspension failures that often plague family SUVs of this era. Accumulating 64,881 miles over its eight-year lifespan yields an average of approximately 8,110 miles annually, representing entirely typical, steady usage for a modern mid-sized utility vehicle. This consistent mileage profile avoids the mechanical risks associated with prolonged periods of standing, such as seized brake calipers or degraded rubber components, while also avoiding the accelerated wear typically inflicted by heavy fleet or high-mileage commercial duties. The yearly testing cadence has remained regular and uninterrupted, providing a reliable chronological timeline of mechanical health as the vehicle approaches its ninth year on the road. Prospective buyers must nonetheless verify the condition of the specific wear items highlighted in prior testing cycles, notably the multiple tyre advisories noting edge wear and the 2024 warning regarding thinning front brake pads. On a test drive, pay close attention to the front axle under heavy braking; any grinding, vibration through the pedal, or pulling to one side will confirm whether those pads and associated brake discs require immediate replacement. Additionally, examine the inner tread shoulders of all four tyres to ensure alignment geometry is true and that the steering wheel remains centered without any wandering at motorway speeds. Beyond these routine consumables, inspect the underbody suspension linkages, drop links, and anti-roll bar bushes during a pre-purchase ramp inspection, as the multi-link setups on these chassis frequently develop play that manifests as quiet knocks over sharp urban potholes. Check the damper bodies for any signs of misting or fluid leakage, and ensure the manual or automatic transmission shifts smoothly across all ratios without hesitation. Confirming that these foundational mechanical areas are sound will ensure the vehicle continues the faultless pass rate demonstrated in its official DVSA record.
