2019 Honda CR-V 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · DX69 NFO

The most recent DVSA MOT test, conducted on 6 January 2026, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car met the statutory roadworthiness requirements at that point. The overall MOT history demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, with passes recorded at every test since 2022 and only two isolated failures, both of which were minor wiper-related defects that were rectified immediately prior to a subsequent pass on the same day. The absence of any structural advisories, corrosion warnings, brake-related notes, or suspension concerns across the entire test history is a positive indicator of the vehicle's mechanical upkeep. While the wiper failures on both the nearside and offside front are trivial in nature, they are worth noting as they suggest the wiper blades and linkage may be approaching the end of their service life and could require replacement as a matter of routine maintenance. The recorded mileage of 40,428 miles over approximately seven years equates to an annual usage of roughly 5,775 miles, which is considerably below the average for a vehicle of this age and type. This low annual mileage typically suggests the vehicle has either been utilised predominantly for short journeys or has spent extended periods standing idle between uses. Lower mileage can be beneficial in terms of wear on major drivetrain components, but it does carry its own set of mechanical implications, particularly regarding components that degrade with calendar age rather than use. Standing periods can lead to brake disc corrosion, sticking or binding brake calipers, and deterioration of rubber and polymer components throughout the vehicle. Given the low annual mileage and the vehicle's age of seven years, a prospective buyer should pay particular attention to age-related degradation rather than purely wear-based concerns. The tyres should be thoroughly inspected for sidewall cracking, perishing, or weather-checking, as rubber compounds harden and deteriorate with time regardless of tread depth. The brake discs and calipers should be examined for signs of corrosion, pitting, or seizure, especially given the likelihood of extended standing periods, and a test drive should be conducted to confirm there is no brake shudder, grinding, or pulling to one side under braking. The 12-volt battery should be load-tested, as batteries left in a partially discharged state for prolonged periods frequently suffer reduced capacity, and the coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid should be checked for service history, as these fluids degrade over time and typically require replacement on a calendar basis rather than purely by mileage. A physical inspection should also verify that the service book is fully stamped and that any indicated servicing intervals have been followed by time as well as by mileage, particularly for items such as the timing chain, spark plugs, and oil changes on this Honda CR-V. During the test drive, listen carefully for any suspension clonks, knocking over uneven surfaces, or abnormal tyre wear patterns that could indicate worn bushes or coil springs, as even low-mileage vehicles suffer suspension component degradation over time. Check for any signs of fluid leaks beneath the vehicle, particularly oil or coolant, and confirm that all electrical systems, including the infotainment and climate control, function correctly. Finally, although the MOT history is clean regarding structural corrosion, the underside and wheel arches should still be physically examined for any surface rust or underseal deterioration, as a seven-year-old vehicle may begin to show early signs of corrosion in vulnerable areas regardless of its MOT pass record.
