2021 Honda CR-V 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · RE71 BZF

This Honda CR-V has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded in either of the two most recent tests, both of which passed without fail. The latest inspection on 5 September 2025—just 10 months ago—confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the absence of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear. The stability of the record suggests consistent compliance with basic MOT requirements, though it does not guarantee the absence of deferred or non-MOT-related issues such as suspension bush deterioration or minor corrosion. The recorded mileage of 45,762 miles at the time of the most recent test reflects an average annual distance of approximately 9,152 miles, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests—10,033 miles between December 2024 and September 2025—is well within the standard 12-month or 12,000-mile interval, indicating no prolonged neglect or excessive wear from rapid mileage accumulation. There are no red flags in the mileage progression, though the sparse data (only two tests in five years) limits deeper insight into long-term maintenance habits. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the coil springs and bushes, as these are common wear items not always captured in a standard MOT. The lack of advisories or defects does not rule out binding brake calipers, uneven tyre wear, or subtle corrosion in wheel arches or underbody areas. Additionally, the absence of emissions-related failures does not preclude gradual deterioration in the catalytic converter or exhaust system, which may not always trigger a fail but could impact performance over time. A pre-purchase diagnostic check, including a brake fluid flush and suspension alignment assessment, is advisable to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the MOT’s scope.
