2020 Honda HR-V 1.6L Diesel · OV70 SGO

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate, indicating a stable and ultimately resolving maintenance trend following a brief lapse in upkeep. The most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 47,463 miles resulted in a clean pass with zero defects. This followed a failure just four days earlier on 25 September 2025 at 47,434 miles, where the tester flagged worn and pitted rear brake discs alongside front and rear brake pads worn below 1.5 mm. The owner rectified these braking faults promptly, restoring the vehicle to a sound mechanical baseline. As the current certificate expires in late September 2026, the test data remains relevant but will require renewal in a few months. The odometer readings reflect a consistent and typical usage pattern for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,900 miles annually. The car covered 10,726 miles between the October 2023 and September 2024 tests, indicating slightly heavier use during that first year of recorded history. Annual mileage then settled to a more moderate 8,427 miles between September 2024 and the September 2025 failure. This steady accumulation suggests regular driving rather than long periods standing idle, which generally benefits the long-term health of the drivetrain and suspension components. Previous ownership shows a tendency to defer routine consumable replacements until they reach critical failure points. Running all four brake pads down below 1.5 mm before the September 2025 test demonstrates a reactive approach to maintenance rather than proactive servicing. A prospective buyer should physically inspect the current brake disc lips and pad thickness to confirm the quality of the replacement parts fitted after the failure. The October 2023 advisory for the offside front outer tyre wearing on its edge points to potential suspension geometry or tracking misalignment. Inspecting the current front tyres for uneven shoulder wear and checking the front suspension bushes and drop links for play will confirm whether the underlying alignment issue was properly corrected.
