2024 Honda CR-V Advance I-MMD CVT Hybrid electric (clean) · SS61 FMS

The vehicle in question, a 2024 Honda CR-V Advance i-MMD CVT, presently holds no entries within the official DVSA MOT testing database. As the car is registered in 2024 and the current date is September 2026, it remains within its first MOT exemption window, as vehicles in the United Kingdom are not legally required to undergo their inaugural roadworthiness test until they reach three years of age. Consequently, no pass or failure outcome, advisory notice, or defect category can be quoted from the DVSA records, and it is not possible to evaluate an overall maintenance trend, whether stable, worsening, or improving. The absence of MOT history at this juncture is entirely expected for a relatively new vehicle and should not, in itself, be interpreted as a cause for concern regarding its mechanical condition, provided the manufacturer service schedule has been adhered to via franchised or reputable independent outlets. With no recorded odometer readings available from the DVSA database, it is unfortunately impossible to calculate the annual mileage rate, identify any significant gaps in usage, or determine whether the vehicle has accumulated distance at an unusually rapid or minimal pace. This lack of mileage data is a common scenario for newer vehicles that have not yet reached their first mandatory inspection, but it does mean that prospective buyers are entirely reliant upon the seller’s declared figures and the in-cluster odometer reading for usage context. Buyers are strongly advised to scrutinise the service book or digital service history to confirm the recorded mileages at each maintenance interval, ensuring that they correlate sensibly with the vehicle’s age and align with the seller’s current stated mileage. Given the absence of any test failures or advisories to reference, mechanical evaluation of this Honda CR-V must be approached from an age and calendar perspective. A two-year-old hybrid vehicle of this type, particularly one featuring a sophisticated i-MMD powertrain, can still be susceptible to certain time-dependent degradation issues that are not strictly mileage related. The 12-volt auxiliary battery, which supports the vehicle’s electronic control systems, can deteriorate through natural calendar ageing, especially if the vehicle is used predominantly for short urban journeys. The high-voltage hybrid battery pack should also be considered, although these systems are engineered for longevity. Furthermore, brake discs and calipers on a lightly used or infrequently driven hybrid can suffer from corrosion or binding due to the regenerative braking system meaning the friction brakes are employed less frequently, leading to potential judder or uneven pad contact on initial application. During a physical inspection and accompanied test drive, particular attention should be paid to the tyres, as rubber compounds degrade with age and sidewall perishing or cracking can occur even on relatively unworn tyres. Verify the production date stamps on the sidewalls to ensure they are recent and appropriate to the vehicle. Inspect the underside of the vehicle, suspension components, and brake assemblies for any signs of standing corrosion, fluid leaks, or seized caliper slide pins. During the test drive, listen carefully for any suspension clonks over uneven surfaces, monitor for any brake shudder or pulling under heavy braking, and confirm the smooth operation of the continuously variable transmission during gradual acceleration. Finally, ensure that all time-based fluid services, including engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant, have been performed in accordance with Honda’s recommended schedule, as calendar-aged fluids lose their protective properties irrespective of distance covered.
