2021 Honda CR-V 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · LB21 PWN

A history of intermittent tyre-related failures and minor visibility advisories defines this vehicle's recent roadworthiness profile, though the most recent test on 22 May 2026 shows a clean pass with no defects recorded. The record indicates a significant failure in May 2024, where all four tyres were flagged as dangerous due to tread depths falling below the legal 1.6mm limit. This was followed by an advisory for smearing windscreen wipers in May 2025, suggesting a pattern of addressing consumable items as they reach the end of their functional life rather than preemptively. The current trend shows a return to a defect-free status in the latest inspection. The vehicle has covered 51,348 miles over its five-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 10,270 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical UK private motoring and suggests a steady rate of wear on mechanical components such as the suspension bushes, brake pads, and drivetrain. Because the mileage has been distributed relatively evenly without significant gaps in testing or periods of long-term stationary use, the mechanical wear on consumables is likely to be proportional to the age of the vehicle rather than being accelerated by high-intensity mileage or degraded by environmental exposure during extended lay-ups. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and the wiper assembly, given the specific failures and advisories noted in the DVSA history. While the 2024 failure regarding tread depth has been rectified, it is essential to inspect the current tread depth across all four tyres and check for uneven wear patterns which could indicate underlying issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. During a test drive, pay close attention to any steering pull or vibration through the steering wheel, as these can be symptoms of the tyre and alignment issues previously identified. Additionally, the advisory regarding windscreen wiper smearing in 2025 warrants a check of the wiper arm tension and the condition of the rubber blades. Ensure that the wipers clear the windscreen effectively without streaking or chatter, especially when using washer fluid. While no structural or fluid-related defects such as oil misting or subframe corrosion have been recorded, the history of tyre-related failures means the buyer should verify that the current wheel bearings and suspension components are free from excessive noise or knocks when navigating uneven road surfaces.
