2016 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · SH16 JSY

The 2016 Honda CR-V has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across five consecutive tests, with the most recent inspection on 13 February 2026 at 91,463 miles confirming no defects. This suggests the vehicle has avoided major mechanical failures or recurring issues during standard MOT testing, though the absence of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The clean pass history implies the vehicle has likely been kept in serviceable condition, though the buyer should verify whether any non-MOT-related components—such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain seals—have been replaced or show signs of premature degradation. The mileage progression indicates a steady usage pattern, averaging approximately 9,146 miles annually, which aligns with typical expectations for a vehicle of this age. Notably, there is a gap of 11 months between the 2024 test at 56,989 miles and the 2025 test at 69,860 miles, during which the vehicle accumulated 12,871 miles—slightly above the annual average. This suggests no prolonged periods of inactivity, though it also means some components may have experienced slightly higher wear than average. The most recent MOT, just five months ago, remains valid, but the buyer should confirm whether the vehicle has been driven regularly since then or stored in a way that could affect fluid levels or tyre condition. Given the lack of recorded defects, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension integrity, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to wear at this mileage. The front and rear brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear, binding, or corrosion, as these are common failure points in older CR-Vs. Additionally, inspect the underbody for signs of structural corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and sills, where moisture retention accelerates deterioration. The exhaust system should be examined for leaks or rust-through, particularly at the catalytic converter and muffler junctions, as these are frequent failure points in this model. Finally, verify the condition of the battery, fluid levels (brake, coolant, power steering), and tyre tread depth, as these are consumable items not always captured in MOT records.
