2016 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · F5 TSW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a clear trend toward deferred maintenance on consumable components. The MOT test conducted in May 2026 at 56,594 miles flagged multiple advisories related to the braking system and tyre condition that were not present in previous years. While the car passed, the accumulation of thin brake pads and worn discs suggests the current owner is waiting until components approach the legal limit before seeking replacement, rather than performing preventative servicing. At 56,594 miles, this ten-year-old Honda shows significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with steady intervals of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles between annual tests from 2022 through 2026. However, the low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the 2026 advisories regarding perishing and cracking on the rear tyres despite the tread depth and relatively low distance driven. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking assembly and suspension geometry. The record shows recurring issues with thinning brake pads across multiple axles between 2023 and 2026, alongside a 2024 imbalance in the offside rear parking brake. This indicates the handbrake mechanism may require adjustment or service to ensure uniformity. Furthermore, the 2022 advisories regarding tyres worn on the edge suggest the vehicle may have suffered from alignment issues or worn suspension bushes, which should be verified by checking for uneven wear on the current set of tyres.
