2017 Honda HR-V 1.5L Petrol · GP66 FXF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history indicates a clear trend of worsening mechanical condition rather than a stable baseline. The most recent test in October 2025, conducted at 64,334 miles, failed on both rear brake pads and nearside front and offside front tyres, which suggests significant wear that has not been addressed since the previous test in October 2024. This deterioration is not merely a temporary fluctuation but a persistent issue that has been accumulating, indicating that basic maintenance was likely skipped between the 2025 and 2024 tests. The mileage accumulation is substantial, with the vehicle achieving approximately 7,148 miles annually, placing it at roughly 7 years old. While the vehicle is older than the current date, the rapid mileage growth suggests that the owner may have been driving the car for extended periods or that the vehicle has been maintained at a low level despite its age. This pattern of rapid mileage accumulation without corresponding repairs on critical components like brakes and tyres is a significant red flag for potential future failure. In conclusion, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear, particularly focusing on suspension bushings, coil springs, and brake discs. Given the recurring thinness of brake pads and worn tyres, the vehicle may have structural risks if the owner continues to drive it. The lack of a history of regular maintenance means that the vehicle is likely to require immediate professional intervention to prevent catastrophic failure, as the wear patterns observed in the MOT record point to a lack of preventative care.
