2015 Honda HR-V 1.5L Petrol · LG65 EOR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its 2025-10-17 MOT at 74,249 miles, with no defects recorded. However, the preceding test on 2025-09-16 at 74,078 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being logged, suggesting a potential administrative or procedural issue. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 show consistent passes with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record. The most recent test confirms the car meets current standards, but the unexplained failure raises questions about the reliability of the MOT process in this instance. The vehicle’s mileage of 74,249 miles over 11 years aligns with an average of 6,750 miles annually, a typical figure for its age. MOT tests are spaced approximately 12 months apart, with mileage increments reflecting steady usage. Notably, the gap between the 2024-09-05 test (69,783 miles) and 2025-09-16 test (74,078 miles) covers 4,295 miles, slightly below the annual average, which could indicate reduced activity or periods of inactivity. No significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes are evident, suggesting consistent, moderate use. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which are common wear items in this model. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records does not preclude a need to check for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, as these can develop between tests. Structural integrity and corrosion should also be assessed, as even minor issues may not trigger MOT failures. The lack of advisories in the history is positive, but a pre-purchase inspection is recommended to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical and structural soundness.
