2016 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · FA16 FYN

This 2016 Honda CR-V presents a completely clean MOT record across all four documented tests, with the most recent examination conducted on 19 March 2026 at 18,396 miles returning a pass with zero defects, advisories, or failures. The maintenance trend is unambiguously stable. No recurring faults, emerging wear patterns, or intermittent defects appear at any point in the history. Every annual test from March 2023 through March 2026 has been a clean pass, indicating consistent mechanical condition and no deterioration in braking, suspension, structural integrity, or exhaust emissions over the recorded period. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle approaching ten years of age. Annual accumulation averages roughly 1,840 miles per year, with incremental gains of approximately 2,699 miles between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests, 2,937 miles between March 2024 and March 2025, and 2,350 miles between March 2023 and March 2024. The slight acceleration in annual usage over the most recent two intervals suggests the vehicle may have transitioned from prolonged static storage to more regular use. Extended periods of inactivity can cause latent issues such as seized brake calipers, flat-spotted tyres, perished rubber bushes, and moisture ingress in fluid systems, none of which have manifested in the MOT outcomes but remain worth verifying physically. Despite the unblemished test record, a prospective buyer should conduct a thorough hands-on inspection focused on areas that MOTs only sample at a single annual snapshot. Examine the underside for surface corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, and brake line brackets, as low-mileage vehicles that have stood for extended periods can develop corrosion that does not yet meet a failure threshold. Check tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, since rubber degrades with time regardless of tread depth. Compress the suspension through a physical bounce test and inspect front and rear bushes, drop links, and shock absorber seals for deterioration. Road-test the vehicle to confirm the handbrake holds on a gradient, the gearbox shifts cleanly through all gears, and the steering tracks straight under braking, as binding calipers or uneven brake wear can develop between tests without triggering an immediate advisory.
