2015 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · J8 UEN

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 30 June 2026. Looking at the historical data since 2020, the maintenance trend is remarkably stable, with a consistent record of passes and very few defects. The only failure recorded in 2021 was due to non-compliant registration plates, which is a cosmetic and administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. While the most recent two tests have introduced advisories regarding tyres and lighting, the overall trajectory suggests a well-maintained vehicle that has avoided significant structural or mechanical failure. With a recorded mileage of 70,604 miles over approximately eleven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,419 miles per year. This usage rate is considered typical for a family SUV of this vintage, suggesting a balanced lifecycle. It has avoided the excessive wear associated with high-mileage motorway use, such as premature drivetrain fatigue or heavy suspension degradation, while also avoiding the risks associated with prolonged standing, such as seized calipers or severe internal engine sludge. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the front tyres, as they have been a recurring point of concern in the last two MOT cycles. The 2025 advisory for cracking and perishing, followed by the 2026 advisory for wear on the edges, suggests that the rubber is reaching the end of its service life or that the wheel alignment is suboptimal. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any unusual road noise and check for a pull in the steering, which would confirm an alignment issue. Additionally, the defective rear fog lamp lens and non-functional central stop lamp should be verified as rectified, as these are simple but necessary safety repairs. Given the vehicle's age, a physical inspection should extend beyond the MOT history to include calendar-based wear items. It is advisable to inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of splitting or corrosion, which is common for vehicles of this era. The brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or lip formation, and the brake pedal should be tested for any shudder or softness. Finally, the buyer must verify the service history to ensure that engine oil, coolant, and transmission fluids have been changed according to the manufacturer's time intervals, regardless of the moderate annual mileage.
