2014 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · RX64 HBP

Persistent tyre-related advisories define the roadworthiness history of this Honda CR-V, which successfully passed its most recent inspection on 28 November 2025. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent record of passing its annual MOT tests, the recurring nature of tyre damage, cracking, and uneven wear patterns suggests a potential underlying issue with wheel alignment or suspension geometry that has not been definitively rectified over several years. The frequency of these specific advisories indicates that the vehicle has required regular attention to its contact patches, and any prospective buyer should view the current tyre condition as a primary point of focus during a physical inspection. Accumulating 87,777 miles over a twelve-year lifespan results in an average of approximately 7,315 miles per annum, a figure that aligns with standard usage expectations for a vehicle of this class. The testing intervals remain largely consistent, confirming that the car has seen regular annual operation rather than extended periods of inactivity. This moderate usage profile typically places balanced stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the consistent tyre-wear advisories suggest that the vehicle has likely spent a significant portion of its life navigating urban environments or roads that have contributed to accelerated scrub on the tyre shoulders. Given the repeated mentions of tyres worn on the edge, a thorough test drive must include an assessment of the vehicle's handling stability. During the drive, listen for any knocking or clunking sounds from the suspension when traversing speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, as worn bushes or ball joints can cause the alignment to shift, leading to the uneven wear patterns noted in the DVSA history. Ensure the steering remains centered on a flat road and observe whether the vehicle pulls to either the left or right under acceleration or braking, which would confirm a need for a professional four-wheel alignment check. Beyond the suspension and alignment, the persistent reports of perishing or cracking tyres necessitate a close physical inspection of the sidewalls for all four wheels. Check the inner and outer treads for depth and uniformity, as the history indicates a recurring tendency for edge-specific wear. While the MOT record does not highlight structural corrosion or braking system defects, it is prudent to inspect the brake discs for signs of scoring or lipping and to verify that the pedal feel is firm and responsive. Any vibration felt through the steering wheel at motorway speeds should be investigated as a potential indicator of wheel imbalance or further suspension wear that has not yet reached the threshold for an MOT advisory.
