Our Verdict
Recommended. This HR-V presents a very c
Focus on verifying the full service history to ensure the 1.5L engine has been maintained despite the low annual usage. Given the low mileage, it is worth checking for signs of infrequent use, such as tyre age or battery health. Negotiate based on any gaps in the service record, though the MOT history suggests a vehicle that has avoided major mechanical failures.
The 1.5L petrol engine provides a balance of efficiency and power for a compact SUV, falling into a moderate tax band for 2016 vehicles. Insurance costs are typically mid-range for this model, making it a practical choice for families or urban drivers. Maintenance costs for the HR-V are generally predictable, though annual costs will vary based on individual insurance profiles.
Inspect the windscreen wipers and blades carefully, as these were the cause of a failure in 2024 and an advisory in 2023. Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and coil springs, as aggregate data for the HR-V identifies these as common failure points across the model range. A visual check of the grey exterior for any inconsistencies in paintwork is also advised.
This 2016 grey Honda HR-V has covered 43,704 miles, which is well below the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history is notably clean, with only one recorded failure in 2024 for windscreen wipers, a common issue for this model. The most recent test in August 2026 was passed without any defects recorded.
The HR-V demonstrates strong reliability with an average MOT pass rate of 90.6% across over 33,000 analysed vehicles.
