2021 Honda CR-V 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · LE21 OMO

A consistent track record of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with three consecutive annual inspections showing no recorded defects. The most recent test on 30 March 2026 resulted in a pass with zero advisories or failures, mirroring the results from the 2025 and 2024 assessments. This lack of recorded mechanical issues across the documented period indicates that the primary safety and environmental components inspected by the DVSA have remained within acceptable operational limits during these specific testing intervals. The vehicle has covered 36,490 miles over its five-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,298 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical light-to-moderate driving rather than high-intensity motorway use or excessive short-trip urban cycles. From a mechanical standpoint, this level of mileage suggests that consumable components such as brake pads, discs, and tyres, as well as suspension bushes and dampers, should not be subject to extreme wear, though they will still be subject to natural degradation over time. Given the absence of any recorded advisories regarding structural integrity or fluid leaks, a test drive should focus on verifying the current state of the drivetrain and suspension under load. While the MOT history shows no faults, you should listen for any dull knocks or clunks from the suspension when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate the onset of wear in the coil springs or bush components. Additionally, monitor the brake pedal feel for any sponginess or vibration through the pedal, which would suggest issues with the braking system that were not present or noted during the last inspection. The lack of reported emissions failures or exhaust system corrosion suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to harsh environmental conditions that typically accelerate underside degradation. During your inspection, check for any signs of oil misting around the engine bay or underside, as the MOT record does not account for slow leaks that may not have reached a level of failure. Ensuring the steering remains centered and free of pull under braking will confirm that the mechanical components remain as consistent as the official test history suggests.
