2022 Honda HR-V Advance Style I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · PC11 KJC

A limited but largely untroubled MOT history defines this 2022 Honda HR-V's roadworthiness picture, with just two recorded tests and only one of those carrying advisories. The most recent examination on 12 February 2026 resulted in a pass, but flagged both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. The earlier test in February 2025 passed with no defects recorded, meaning the only items of concern surfaced at the latest assessment. With so few data points available, there is insufficient history to establish a recurring pattern of wear or component failure, though the appearance of two advisories in a single test is worth treating as an early indicator of attention required at the front axle. At roughly four years old, an accumulated 18,687 miles equates to an annual average of around 4,672 miles per year, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. Such modest mileage typically reflects either short urban journeys or extended periods of inactivity rather than sustained motorway use, both of which carry their own mechanical considerations. Lower annual mileage generally reduces wear on friction items such as brake discs and pads, and places less strain on the clutch and drivetrain, but it also means the hybrid powertrain, 12V battery, brake fluid, and tyres may have aged more from time than from use. The recorded mileage appears consistent across both tests with no irregularities, suggesting a steady and largely continuous usage pattern. The front tyre advisories are the only specific defects on record and warrant close inspection during any viewings. Both front tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, a condition that often points to either incorrect inflation pressures, wheel alignment geometry drifting out of specification, or suspension components allowing uneven contact with the road. On a test drive, listen for any knocking or clonking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, particularly over speed humps and potholes, and pay attention to whether the steering pulls to one side under braking or at a steady cruising speed. Uneven tyre wear that returns quickly after replacement is frequently a symptom of worn suspension bushes, top mounts, or compromised strut bearings, all of which would merit a physical inspection on a ramp. Given the hybrid drivetrain and CVT transmission, prospective buyers should also verify the smooth operation of the system during a test drive, confirming that the transition between electric and petrol propulsion occurs without hesitation, judder, or warning indicators. Inspect the front and rear brake discs for any lipping or corrosion around the outer edges, which can be more pronounced on lower mileage vehicles that have experienced extended standing periods. Check that the tyre sidewalls are free from cracking or perished rubber consistent with age rather than mileage, and confirm that all four tyres are of matching specification, as mixed tyres on a hybrid vehicle may affect the accuracy of the tyre pressure monitoring system. Finally, ensure that the recent advisory items have been addressed with fresh tyres of the correct size and load rating, and request evidence of any geometry work carried out to correct the edge wear pattern.
