2016 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · PF66 HAA

A consistent history of clean MOT certificates defines this vehicle's roadworthiness record, with a stable trend of passes extending back to 2019. The most recent test on 16 October 2025 resulted in a pass with only a minor defect regarding a windscreen wiper blade, following a period of several years with no recorded defects at all. The recorded mileage of 82,240 miles is typical for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,224 miles per year. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or excessive long-distance hauling. Mechanically, this usage profile typically results in a balanced wear pattern across drivetrain components and suspension bushings, avoiding the risks associated with both extreme high-mileage fatigue and the degradation often found in low-use vehicles. Attention should be directed toward the oil leak noted as not excessive during the October 2024 inspection. While it did not trigger a failure, a prospective buyer should inspect the engine bay and the underside of the chassis for fresh oil residue or staining. During a test drive, check for any abnormal smells of burning oil, which can occur if leaks drip onto hot exhaust components. Regarding the tyre wear flagged on the nearside front in 2024, it is important to verify that the tyre has since been replaced and that the wear was not a symptom of an underlying alignment issue. During the test drive, monitor for any steering pull or uneven vibration through the steering wheel, which could indicate worn suspension linkages or incorrect wheel tracking. Ensure the current tyre tread depth is consistent across both front wheels to rule out chronic camber or toe-in problems.
