2018 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · FV18 AWR

The 2018 Honda CR-V presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness profile through its MOT record. The most recent test on 23 March 2026 at 76,748 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged advisories for both the Nearside and Offside Front tyres being worn close to legal limits and worn on the edges. This is a minor consumable issue rather than a structural or mechanical defect, but it does indicate that basic tyre upkeep has slipped recently. Prior to this, the vehicle passed four consecutive MOTs with zero defects recorded, suggesting a long period of consistent maintenance before this latest advisory appeared. The mileage accumulation is remarkably steady and typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. From the first recorded test on 23 May 2022 at 30,028 miles through to the March 2026 test at 76,748 miles, the vehicle has covered approximately 46,720 miles over nearly four years, averaging around 11,680 miles annually. This is slightly above the stated 9,594 miles per year overall average, which implies the current keeper has been using the vehicle more intensively than previous owners. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer readings between tests, and the progression from 30,028 miles in May 2022 to 41,644 miles by May 2023, then 51,969 miles by April 2024, and 63,640 miles by April 2025 shows a consistent and credible pattern of regular use with no evidence of clocking. The edge wear pattern on both front tyres is worth noting beyond the immediate replacement cost. Uneven or edge wear on the front tyres of a CR-V can point to suspension geometry issues, worn tracking, or habitual underinflation over time. A prospective buyer should have the front suspension inspected for worn bushes, damaged anti-roll bar links, and correct wheel alignment before purchase. The vehicle's age and mileage also warrant a thorough underside inspection for corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe, sills, and brake lines, as Honda CR-V models of this generation have been known to attract corrosion advisories in later life. Brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness, and the exhaust system checked for any emerging leaks or deterioration, given that the vehicle is now approaching the point where such components typically require replacement.
