2016 Honda HR-V 1.6L Diesel · LF16 EXU

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT result in its most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 110,938 miles. This follows a failure in January 2026 at 109,298 miles regarding a defective nearside rear seat belt mechanism, which appears to have been rectified promptly. The lack of defects in the latest inspection suggests the vehicle is currently in a good state of repair regarding its immediate legal compliance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The records show steady usage from 36,436 miles in February 2019 to the current 110,938 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing frequency, and the progression from 48,263 miles in 2020 to 98,414 miles in 2025 indicates regular, predictable road use rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension system. The February 2025 test at 98,414 miles flagged light oil misting on both nearside and offside rear shock absorbers. While this was passed as a minor advisory, it indicates the seals are beginning to weep and potential replacement may be required in the near future. The braking system has also seen intermittent attention, with thin pads noted in 2020 and worn discs mentioned in February 2024 at 88,429 miles. General consumables like tyres and wiper blades have appeared as recurring advisories, specifically in 2020 and 2023. These are standard wear items, but they suggest the previous owners followed a reactive rather than proactive maintenance pattern for minor components. A physical inspection of the brake pad thickness and the condition of the rear shock absorbers is recommended to ensure no further degradation has occurred since the last recorded tests.
