2017 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · KF17 XMB

The vehicle presents a stable but reactive maintenance profile, with the most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 73,088 miles showing a pattern of deferred consumable replacement. While the car passed its latest inspection, the tester flagged multiple tyre issues, including a damaged nearside front sidewall and both front tyres wearing close to the legal limit. This indicates that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, the owner tends to run components to the edge of their service life rather than replacing them proactively. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows an average of approximately 6,000 to 7,000 miles per year, moving from 48,140 miles in July 2021 to 73,088 miles in July 2025. This steady progression suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity or heavy commercial mileage. The lack of significant gaps between annual tests indicates a consistent approach to legal compliance. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during a physical inspection. The MOT history reveals a recurring trend of thinning brake pads, with advisories noted for front pads in both July 2023 and July 2024, and rear pads in July 2022. The July 2024 report also flagged a low brake hydraulic reservoir, which warrants a check for potential leaks in the master cylinder or brake lines. Given the repeated tyre advisories across 2022, 2024, and 2025, a thorough assessment of the current tread depth and sidewall integrity is necessary. The frequent tyre-related advisories suggest that while the vehicle is mechanically functional, basic upkeep of consumables is often reactive. Beyond the brakes and tyres, the record is relatively clean regarding structural integrity and suspension components. An inspection should confirm that the recent tyre wear has not caused unevenness in the steering or suspension bushes, particularly given the repeated mentions of edge wear on the front tyres.
