2015 Honda CR-V EX I-Dtec 1.6L Diesel · OV65 OBH

The most recent MOT test conducted on 13 May 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking back through the records to 2022, the vehicle has maintained a remarkably consistent and clean history, with four consecutive tests showing no faults. This indicates a stable maintenance trend and suggests that the previous owner has likely adhered to a proactive servicing schedule, ensuring that wear and tear components were replaced before they reached a failure threshold. With a recorded mileage of 108,416 miles over approximately eleven years, the vehicle has averaged nearly 10,000 miles per annum. This is considered typical usage for a vehicle of this age and class. Such a consistent usage profile is generally beneficial for the i-DTEC diesel engine, as regular mileage helps maintain the efficiency of the diesel particulate filter and prevents the stagnation issues often associated with low-mileage city cars. However, exceeding the 100,000 mile mark means the vehicle is now entering a phase where major consumables and drivetrain components may require closer inspection. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection is essential to verify the current condition of age-related components. You should carefully examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or fine cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of remaining tread depth. Check the brake discs for any significant lip formation or surface corrosion, and ensure the calipers are not binding, which can occur if the vehicle has had periods of inactivity. It is also advisable to test the 12V battery health and inspect the engine bay for any signs of weeping seals or fluid leaks that may not be significant enough to trigger an MOT failure but indicate future maintenance needs. Particular attention should be paid to the chassis and suspension. At this mileage, you should listen for clunks or knocks over uneven surfaces during a test drive, which could indicate worn suspension bushes or failing coil springs. Verify the service history stamps to ensure that calendar-based fluid changes, such as brake fluid and coolant, have been performed. Finally, ensure the engine idles smoothly and accelerates without hesitation, confirming that the EGR valve and intake system remain clear, as these are common areas of concern for high-mileage diesel engines of this era.
