2019 Honda HR-V 1.5L Petrol · LG69 EAM

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows a recent downward trend in mechanical condition. While the October 2025 test resulted in a pass, the inspector flagged several significant advisories that were absent in previous years. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to multiple advisories in 2025 suggests that wear on consumable components is now reaching a critical threshold. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a seven-year-old vehicle. The car has covered 67,870 miles, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. A notable jump occurred between the October 2022 and September 2023 tests, where the mileage increased from roughly 30,865 to 56,908 miles, indicating a period of much higher annual usage. Since that period, the mileage has climbed steadily and predictably. A prospective buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and front suspension. The October 2025 report noted worn, pitted, or scored front brake discs alongside thinning brake pads. These issues often necessitate a full disc and pad replacement rather than just pads. The tester also identified worn pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms. This indicates that the suspension bushings are beginning to degrade, which may soon lead to handling issues or more expensive repairs if the movement becomes excessive. Finally, check the condition of the tyres and the rear passenger area. The 2025 record flagged a slightly damaged or perishing offside rear tyre, following a structural tyre failure in October 2022. This recurring issue with tyre condition suggests the vehicle may have sat idle for periods or that tyre maintenance is not a primary focus for the current owner. Ensure the rear seatbelt remains unobstructed to allow for proper inspection of the interior safety components.
