2017 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · RX67 VBU

The 2017 Honda CR-V presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture based on the five MOT tests recorded between 2022 and 2026, with no failures or dangerous defects listed. The most recent test on 23 July 2026 at the recorded mileage of 48,273 passed with advisories limited to rear brake pad wear and perishing on both rear tyres, mirroring the advisory pattern observed the previous year. No structural, steering, suspension, or exhaust issues have been flagged at any point in the record, and the advisory trend across the five consecutive passes is consistent rather than worsening, suggesting a predictable cycle of routine consumable wear rather than any escalating mechanical concern. Annual mileage is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle. Covering roughly 5,364 miles per year since first registration, the CR-V has accumulated mileage at a rate well below the typical average. The recorded mileages at test, approximately 31,800 in 2022, 36,700 in 2023, 40,800 in 2024, 44,700 in 2025, and 48,273 in 2026, indicate consistent usage of around 3,000 to 4,200 miles between tests, with no significant gaps or sudden jumps. Low annual mileage of this nature can reduce wear on drivetrain and engine components but may also bring specific risks such as dried brake fluid, perished rubber components, and corrosion from limited use, which the tyre perishing advisories already hint at. For a prospective buyer, the recurring advisory items should drive the pre-purchase inspection. The rear brake pads were noted as wearing thin in both 2025 and 2026, so the remaining friction material and the condition of the rear brake discs should be physically measured and examined for lipping or binding calipers. Both rear tyres were flagged for cracking or perishing at the last two tests, and a nearside front tyre was also noted as worn close to the legal limit in 2025, so all four tyres warrant a close check for sidewall deterioration, age-related cracking, and remaining tread depth. A physical inspection should also confirm the absence of corrosion underneath, the condition of the coil springs and suspension bushes given the age, and the state of the brake fluid, since low-mileage vehicles are particularly prone to moisture ingress in the braking system.
