2016 Honda HR-V 1.5L Petrol · ET65 FXW

The 2016 Honda HR-V presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 October 2025 at 56,503 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. The recorded mileage shows light use for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,650 miles per year. The DVSA entries step steadily upward: 33,798 miles on 11 October 2022, 42,252 on 2 October 2023, 49,556 on 9 October 2024, and 56,503 on 10 October 2025. The sparse record shows only four annual tests plus a duplicate 2022 entry, where the car failed and passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects listed, indicating an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical fault. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. Given the clean sheet across every test, the history reveals no recurring advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion for the buyer to chase. The low annual mileage does imply the HR-V may have stood unused for extended periods, which can age tyres, flat-spot them, and encourage underbody corrosion unseen by the tester. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the exhaust emissions system, brake calipers for any binding after standing, and the subframe for hidden rust. The absence of MOT flags is not a substitute for checking fluid condition and tyre sidewall cracking on a car used this lightly.
