2021 Honda CR-V 2.0L Hybrid electric · SB70 EXP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 107,520 miles passed, it introduced advisories for both nearside and offside rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit with uneven edges. This indicates a potential lapse in monitoring consumable wear or an alignment issue, contrasting with the clean record seen during the January 2025 test. The mileage accumulation is significantly high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging over 21,000 miles annually. Between January 2025 and January 2026, the car covered 8,159 miles in just twelve months, suggesting heavy motorway use or high-frequency operation. This rapid rate of travel places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking components compared to average domestic use. The failure in January 2024 for an ineffective windscreen wiper was rectified before retest, showing that minor mechanical concerns are addressed only when they trigger a failure during an inspection. A buyer must inspect the rear suspension and alignment, as the uneven tyre wear noted in the 2026 test suggests worn shocks or compromised control arms. Given the high-mileage profile, a thorough check of the brake disc thickness and caliper condition is essential, as high annual mileage often masks accelerated wear. The record does not currently flag structural corrosion, but the high usage rate necessitates a physical chassis inspection to check for perished rubber components and leaks that ensure the vehicle has not reached a point of mechanical fatigue consistent with its long-distance travel.
