2016 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · NRD 797

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT result in the most recent test on 13 January 2026 at 88,401 miles. This follows a successful test in January 2025 at 79,285 miles, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. The absence of defects in the last two years suggests a consistent approach to maintenance and a period of reliable operation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a ten-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 8,840 miles per year, with the distance increasing steadily from 48,600 miles in January 2022 to the current 88,401 miles. This steady progression suggests regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate risks associated with seized components or perished seals often found in low-mileage, stationary vehicles. The historical record shows a recurring trend regarding tyre wear and consumable maintenance. In January 2023, both rear tyres were flagged as being worn close to the legal limit, and the January 2024 test identified similar issues with both front inner tyres. While these were resolved for subsequent tests, the pattern indicates that the previous owner occasionally deferred tyre replacements until they reached the legal threshold. A buyer should inspect the current tread depth and check for uneven wear that might suggest alignment issues or worn suspension components. Mechanical attention was also required for the braking system and suspension in early 2022. The January 2022 test noted a smooth brake pedal and slight play in the offside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. Although the brake pedal issue was not repeated, the presence of suspension play suggests that components like bushes and linkages may require periodic replacement as the vehicle ages. A physical inspection of the suspension geometry and the condition of the brake discs and pads is recommended to ensure these components remain in good order.
