2022 Honda CR-V 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · GN22 WVB

Tyre sidewall condition dominates the MOT record, with each test flagging slight damage or cracking on all four tyres and one tyre approaching the legal wear limit. The latest test on 27 April 2026 recorded a pass, but a failure for headlamp aim logged earlier the same day was subsequently corrected, leaving only the tyre advisories as outstanding items. At 20 302 miles the CR‑V averages just over 5 000 miles per year, a low annual accumulation for a four‑year‑old vehicle. Such modest usage typically translates to limited wear on engine and drivetrain components, but it also means the tyres have spent a considerable proportion of their service life exposed to age‑related degradation rather than mileage wear. The relatively static mileage pattern suggests the car may have experienced periods of inactivity, which can accelerate rubber hardening and sidewall fatigue. Prospective buyers should inspect each tyre closely for visible cracks, bulges, or sidewall thinning, and verify that tread depth on the off‑side front tyre exceeds the legal minimum, as it was noted as close to the limit. A tyre change is advisable before committing to purchase, and a professional wheel alignment should follow to address any underlying causes of uneven sidewall stress. The headlamp aim issue appears to have been remedied, but a quick visual check of both low‑beam lenses for correct alignment will confirm compliance. Although no other components were flagged, a comprehensive test drive is still warranted. Listen for any knocking over bumps that could indicate hidden suspension wear, feel for consistent brake pedal pressure without judder, and note any steering pull that might reveal alignment or tyre‑related problems. Confirm that all lights function correctly and that there is no visible corrosion on chassis or exhaust elements, as these were not recorded in the MOT history but remain standard checks for overall roadworthiness.
