2018 Honda HR-V 1.6L Diesel · FA18 RLV

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 7 August 2025 at 69,992 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This reflects a stable maintenance trend, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids the mechanical or structural failures typically flagged during annual inspections over the last five years. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,750 miles per year. Between the July 2021 test at 33,083 miles and the August 2025 test at 69,992 miles, the car covered roughly 37,000 miles at steady intervals. This regular usage profile indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which is beneficial for maintaining seals and components, while the total mileage remains low enough to avoid the accelerated drivetrain wear associated with high-mileage urban commuting. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults regarding suspension bushes, brake components, or corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on the natural wear of consumables that the MOT does not fully test. A buyer should verify the condition of the brake pads and discs, and check tyre tread depth, as the record only confirms minimum legal limits. Given the age, checking for minor rubber cracking in suspension components or early oxidation on the chassis is prudent, though the official data suggests the structural integrity remains sound.
