Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a practic
Focus your attention on the service history to ensure the diesel engine has been maintained according to schedule, specifically regarding oil changes and DPF health given the total mileage. You may have room to negotiate the price based on the fact that this vehicle has covered significantly more miles than the typical HR-V of this vintage.
Verify that the repairs following the February 2026 MOT failure—specifically the suspension arm pin/bush and the brake pads—were carried out by a professional garage and that receipts are available. Ensure the engine undertray, which was flagged as insecure in 2024, has been properly fastened.
As a 1.6L diesel, this HR-V is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys, though annual tax and insurance will vary by trim. Maintenance costs are typically moderate for this model, but at 112,881 miles, you should expect more frequent replacement of wear-and-tear components such as brakes and suspension bushings.
Typical annual expenditure including fuel, road tax, insurance, and routine servicing is estimated to be in the region of £1,200 to £1,600, depending on your annual mileage and insurance group.
Carefully inspect the rear tyres and brake pads to confirm the February 2026 failures were fully rectified. Pay close attention to the front inner suspension arm bushings, as the MOT history specifically noted a worn pin or bush in early 2026; ensure there is no excessive movement or knocking when driving over uneven surfaces.
Additionally, check the engine undertray to see if the 2024 advisory regarding it not being fully secure was resolved. Finally, check the windscreen wipers and coil springs, as these are among the top failure reasons for this model according to aggregate data.
This black 2016 Honda HR-V 1.6L diesel has covered 112,881 miles, which is considerably higher than the model average. While the MOT history is generally positive, a failure in February 2026 required the replacement of rear tyres and brake pads, alongside suspension work. It remains a viable option given the HR-V's strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 90.6%.
The Honda HR-V has a strong reliability reputation, evidenced by a high aggregate MOT pass rate of 90.6% across 33,577 analysed vehicles.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- CVT Transmission JudderModerate
Early Mk2 models with CVT can suffer from jerky acceleration or "hunting" for gears if fluid hasn’t been changed.
- Diamond-Cut Alloy Wheel PittingModerate
The diamond-cut alloy wheels are prone to corrosion and pitting, which Honda has replaced under warranty on many examples. Check the condition carefully as replacements are expensive.
- Front Suspension Ball Joint WearModerate
Front lower arm ball joints can wear prematurely, leading to clonking noises over bumps and vague steering feel. This is a common MOT advisory.
