2017 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · LD17 JVC

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 36,596 miles where it passed with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes, despite a momentary failure in March 2025. The fact that the vehicle passed a subsequent test just six days after that failure suggests the previous owner acted immediately on identified issues, successfully returning the car to a compliant state quickly. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 4,066 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the vehicle covered 3,575 miles, indicating a pattern of minimal use or extended storage. This low usage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage counterparts. However, low-mileage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on brake surfaces if the vehicle is not driven frequently enough. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age and inactivity rather than just mileage. While the MOT history shows no structural failures, the tester should check for dry-rott in suspension bushes, perished tyre sidewalls, and seized brake calipers often found on infrequently driven. Given the failure in March 2025 at 30,931 miles, it is advisable to verify the specific reason for that initial failure to ensure the repair was permanent and not a symptom of a recurring mechanical issue.
