2020 Honda HR-V 1.5L Petrol · OW69 LSD

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, despite a reactive approach to minor consumable items. The most recent test in December 2025 at 50,171 miles passed, though the tester flagged a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. This mirrors a pattern of tyre neglect seen in January 2023 where both front tyres showed similar wear and a rear tyre suffered a nail. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with 12,052 miles covered between the January 2023 and December 2023 tests, and another 9,581 miles between the December 2023 and 2024 tests. This regularity suggests the car has been used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for mechanical seals and components to prevent seizing or corrosion often associated with long-term inactivity. A buyer should inspect the front suspension and wheel alignment specifically, as the recurring edge wear on the front tyres noted in 2023 and 2025 suggests a persistent misalignment or worn suspension bushes. While the 2024 test identified a defective nearside rear reflector and obstructed inspections due to child seats, these are minor peripheral issues that do not indicate deep mechanical failure. The record shows no structural corrosion or brake failures, meaning the primary focus should remain on ensuring the current owner has addressed the cause of the premature tyre wear.
