2013 Honda CR-Z 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FX63 FHR

The vehicle presents a stable but aging maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT passed on 18 July 2026 at 151,525 miles. While the car remains roadworthy, the record shows a worsening trend regarding braking components. The July 2026 test flagged thin front and rear brake pads alongside a pitted nearside rear brake disc. This follows a similar advisory in July 2025 for thin front pads and the same pitted rear disc, suggesting that while the parts are within legal limits, they are nearing the end of their service life and require imminent replacement. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,656 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase from 18,021 miles in 2016 to the current 151,525 miles. A notable period of higher usage occurred between February 2018 and July 2019, where the mileage jumped from 28,525 to 68,416. The vehicle has maintained a regular testing interval since 2019, which provides a reliable longitudinal view of its mechanical condition. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically checking for the thickness of the pads and the surface condition of the discs to avoid immediate maintenance costs. The 2024 test at 133,100 miles highlighted significant deterioration in several suspension ball joint dust covers, including the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms and front suspension rods. Although these were passed, the recurring nature of wear in these areas suggests the rubber components may be prone to premature aging. The July 2026 test also noted defective headlamp lenses on both sides. This indicates UV degradation or surface oxidation, which can affect light projection. Given the recent advisories for brakes and the previous issues with suspension dust covers, a thorough check of the underbody for rubber perished components and the overall integrity of the braking hardware is necessary to ensure no further degradation has occurred since the last inspection.
