2020 Honda CR-V 1.5L Petrol · RO69 VUH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to mechanical upkeep. The most recent test in December 2025 at 34,087 miles passed, but immediately following a failure one mile prior due to unsafe front tyre tread and thin brake pads. While the vehicle cleared these immediate issues, the recurring nature of consumable wear-related failures suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they reach a legal limit or failure threshold. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual testing, moving from 10,091 miles in December 2022 to 34,087 miles by late 2025. This low usage typically places less strain on the drivetrain and suspension, yet it explains the accelerated degradation of rubber components. The failure for cracking rear tyres in 2025 confirms that the vehicle likely sat stationary for long periods, causing the rubber to dry out despite the low distance covered. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the December 2025 record flagged both thin pads and worn front discs. While the discs were noted as not excessively worn, the combination of these faults suggests the front braking assembly is nearing a full replacement. The history of front tyres consistently reaching the legal limit across 2023 and 2024 further highlights a pattern of delaying routine maintenance. Physical inspection of all tyres is required to check for further sidewall cracking or perishing, as the previous tester flagged this on both rear sides. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes and brake calipers for signs of seizing or perished rubber, which are common issues on low-mileage vehicles that are infrequently. While no structural corrosion or major mechanical failures appear in the record, the focus must remain on the state of the consumables and rubber-based components.
