2021 Honda CR-V 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · MV71 UPB

A spotless MOT record aside from tyre surface advisories indicates the vehicle’s structural and power‑train elements have not attracted any recorded failures, and the most recent test on 24 February 2026 confirmed a pass with no defects noted. The only recurring items are mild cracking or perishing on all four tyres flagged in the September 2024 advisory, suggesting the tyre set is the sole area of concern. At 44 735 miles the CR‑V averages just under 9 000 miles per year, a usage rate that sits comfortably within typical UK patterns for a five‑year‑old family SUV. The MOT history shows regular annual testing with no significant gaps, confirming that mileage has been accumulated steadily rather than in large bursts, which generally limits accelerated wear on major components but does mean consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension bushings will be approaching the latter stages of their service lives. Prospective buyers should give the tyre condition priority: inspect tread depth on each wheel, feel for any soft spots or bulges in the sidewalls, and listen for a thumping or uneven noise when the vehicle is driven at moderate speed. Any loss of grip, vibration through the steering column, or a pronounced pull to one side can indicate that the tyre damage noted in the MOT advisory has progressed and that replacement is imminent. Verify that the spare tyre, if fitted, is of comparable condition and correctly inflated. With the tyre issue isolated, the remainder of the vehicle’s mechanical health can be assessed by checking for typical wear cues: ensure the steering feels precise without excessive play, listen for clunks over bumps that could hint at worn suspension bushes or control arm joints, and test the brakes for consistent pedal feel and the absence of pulsation, which would suggest disc or pad wear. A thorough visual inspection of wheel arches and under‑carriage for any emerging corrosion will also confirm that the clean MOT record reflects a genuinely sound chassis.
