2018 Honda HR-V 1.6L Diesel · FX18 VBT

This Honda HR-V presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 11 March 2026 at 75,827 miles showing no defects or advisories. The vehicle has passed every inspection since at least February 2023 , with no recurring issues or major mechanical concerns recorded. The absence of advisories or failures over this period suggests that routine maintenance—such as brake inspections, tyre checks, and emissions compliance—has been consistently addressed. There is no evidence of neglect or escalating wear in the official DVSA records, though this does not preclude the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection of components not covered by the MOT, such as suspension bushings or fluid levels. The mileage accumulation of 9,478 miles per year aligns closely with the average for a vehicle of this age, indicating neither excessive use nor prolonged disuse. The most recent 5,814-mile gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests the car has been in regular service, while the 4,328-mile jump between the 2023 and 2024 tests reflects steady but moderate usage. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern—no sudden spikes that might imply abuse or neglect, nor extended periods of inactivity that could lead to seized components or degraded fluids. Given the absence of MOT advisories, a buyer should still prioritise a pre-purchase inspection of suspension components , particularly the control arm bushes and coil springs , as these are not routinely tested but can degrade unevenly. The brake system —including calipers, discs, and pads—should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, even though no MOT failures have been recorded. Exhaust emissions compliance has been maintained, but a visual inspection of the silencer and catalytic converter for leaks or rust is advisable, especially given the vehicle’s age. Tyres should be examined for uneven tread wear or internal damage, as tread depth alone does not always indicate structural integrity. Finally, fluid levels —brake, coolant, and power steering—should be verified, as these are not part of the MOT but critical to long-term reliability.
