2017 Honda HR-V 1.5L Petrol · RK67 OEN

A recurring theme in the MOT history is progressive tyre wear combined with emerging front brake disc wear; the latest test on 24 July 2026 recorded a cut on the off‑side front outer tyre and noted that both front brake discs were approaching the wear limit, mirroring advisories from the previous year. Rear‑tyre wear close to the legal limit was flagged in both 2022 and 2023, while a TPMS warning appeared in 2021, but no outright failures have been recorded across the seven tests. The odometer reads 42 320 mi after nine years, equating to roughly 4 700 mi per annum – well below the average for a vehicle of this age. The consistent annual MOT schedule shows no significant gaps, suggesting the mileage figure is reliable. Low annual accumulation generally means less cumulative stress on engine, transmission and suspension components, yet the tyre advisories indicate that tread loss is occurring at a rate disproportionate to the recorded distance, which can be attributed to tyre ageing or the vehicle’s usage pattern rather than mileage alone. Prospective buyers should inspect the front brake discs for remaining thickness, looking for scoring or uneven wear, and test for pedal pulsation or a high‑pitched squeal under braking, which would signal that the discs are nearing the end of their service life. The off‑side front tyre’s cut should be examined for any progression into the carcass; any bulge, loss of sidewall integrity or vibration at speed would warrant immediate replacement. Both rear tyres, flagged as close to the legal limit, should be measured for tread depth and inspected for edge wear; given their age, budgeting for a full set of tyres is advisable. The TPMS illumination recorded in 2021 suggests a sensor fault or battery depletion; verify that the warning light extinguishes after a short drive and that tyre pressure readings are stable. While no suspension or structural defects have been noted, a thorough road test should include listening for clunks over bumps, feeling for any steering pull or vibration, and confirming that the steering feels tight and responsive. Addressing the identified tyre and brake concerns before purchase will ensure the vehicle remains road‑worthy for the next service interval.
