2023 Honda HR-V Advance I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · SH73 KLS

A spotless MOT record across the vehicle’s three‑year life indicates that, to date, no roadworthiness‑related defects have been recorded for this 2023 Honda HR‑V Advance I‑MMD CVT. The most recent test on 24 August 2026 confirmed a pass with no advisory or failure items, and there are no earlier entries to suggest recurring issues. This continuity points to a history free of documented mechanical non‑compliance. At 26,385 miles the annual average sits around 8,800 miles, which aligns closely with typical UK usage for a three‑year‑old family crossover. The mileage progression shows a steady, moderate accumulation rather than a sudden surge that might hint at intensive short‑term use. From a mechanical perspective, components subject to wear—such as brake pads, tyre tread, and CVT clutch plates—are likely to be in the early‑to‑mid stage of their service life, but they will have experienced a normal amount of operating cycles for a vehicle of this age. When you inspect the car, pay particular attention to the brake system: feel for any pulsation or sponginess in the pedal, listen for squeal or grinding on initial deceleration, and check that the discs appear even and unscored. Examine the tyres for consistent tread depth across all four wheels and for any sidewall bulges that could indicate hidden damage. On a low‑speed drive, test the CVT for smooth, uninterrupted acceleration without shuddering or delayed engagement, especially when shifting from a standstill or under load. Listen for any clunking or knocking over bumps that could reveal worn suspension bushes, ball joints, or dampers, and verify that the steering remains centred without pull to either side. A visual under‑body walk‑around should confirm the absence of fresh oil leaks around the engine bay, CVT housing, and rear differential, and a quick check of the battery terminals for corrosion will rule out simple electrical gremlins. Finally, confirm that all lights, indicators, and the windscreen wipers operate correctly, and ask to see any recent service documentation that covers scheduled oil and filter changes, as these routine items are not captured by MOT but are essential for long‑term reliability.
