2019 Honda CR-V 1.5L Petrol · FX19 UBA

An unusually low usage profile defines this vehicle, which has transitioned from a period of recorded advisories in 2025 to a clean result in its most recent test on 21 May 2026. While the 2025 MOT highlighted concerns regarding tyre tread depth and parking brake efficiency, the absence of any defects or advisories in the latest inspection indicates that the previously identified issues have been addressed. The overall trend shows a shift from minor wear-related advisories toward a clean pass, though the mechanical history is not entirely without recorded points of concern. The recorded mileage of 23,485 miles against a seven-year age profile represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 3,355 miles. This level of usage is significantly lower than the UK average and suggests the vehicle has spent considerable time stationary or has been used exclusively for short-distance trips. Mechanically, such low mileage can lead to less frequent wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, but it also increases the likelihood of components such as tyres and braking systems experiencing age-related degradation or uneven wear patterns due to infrequent high-speed or long-distance running. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition, following the advisories noted in May 2025. Although the 2026 test was clear, the previous note regarding parking brake efficiency suggests the system may require monitoring. During a test drive, it is essential to test the handbrake's holding strength on a gradient and check for any binding or unevenness in the brake pedal feel. Any sensation of the pedal travelling further than usual or a lack of immediate bite when the parking brake is engaged should be investigated to ensure the adjustment or repair mentioned in the 2025 record was completed effectively. Tyre wear should also be a primary focus, particularly given the 2025 advisory regarding tyres being worn close to the legal limit on both the nearside and offside fronts. Even with a clean 2026 pass, the low annual mileage means tyres may be reaching the end of their service life due to age rather than tread wear alone. Inspect the sidewalls for cracking or perishing and check the tread depth across the entire width of the tyre to ensure there is no uneven wear on the edges. On the road, listen for any rhythmic thumping or excessive road noise that could indicate uneven tread wear or structural degradation in the rubber.
