2022 Honda HR-V Advance I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · PL71 NLG

The most recent MOT, carried out on 6 August 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, and the two preceding tests in December 2025 and January 2025 also returned clean passes. This uninterrupted series of fault‑free examinations indicates a stable maintenance pattern; there is no evidence of deteriorating condition or emerging failures, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a road‑worthy state throughout its recent life. At four years old the HR‑V has logged 25 420 miles, which works out to roughly 6 300 miles per annum. This usage rate sits comfortably within the typical UK private‑car average and does not point to any period of intensive high‑speed or heavy‑load operation. There are no large mileage gaps that would hint at prolonged storage, nor is the accumulation rapid enough to accelerate wear on wear‑items such as tyres, brakes or suspension components. For a buyer, the first visual checks should concentrate on the tyre condition. Even though the tread depth is likely acceptable, examine the sidewalls for any cracking, dry‑rot or perishing that can develop with age, especially if the car has spent extended periods idle. Verify the tyre manufacture date (the four‑digit code on the sidewall) and consider replacing any set older than six years regardless of tread wear. The 12‑volt battery, now four years old, should be tested for cranking voltage and electrolyte level (if conventional) or inspected for any signs of swelling or terminal corrosion, as calendar ageing can reduce capacity even on low‑mileage cars. Mechanical inspection should include a thorough appraisal of the braking system – look for surface rust on the discs, uneven pad wear, and ensure the calipers move freely without binding or leaking fluid. A gentle brake pedal feel and the absence of shudder or pulsation when applied will confirm healthy operation. Examine the suspension for any loosened or cracked bushings, worn coil‑spring mounts or noisy ball joints; a test‑drive over a speed bump should reveal any clunks or excessive bounce. Finally, confirm that service records show timely oil, coolant and brake‑fluid changes in line with Honda’s calendar‑based intervals, and inspect for any oil or coolant leaks, exhaust corrosion or loose engine mounts that could indicate hidden deterioration despite the clean MOT history.
