2018 Honda CR-V 1.5L Petrol · ST68 XPM

A pattern of consistent roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT pass on 21 October 2025 showing no recorded defects. The testing history over the last four years demonstrates a stable mechanical profile, as the vehicle has passed every inspection since 2022. While the 2024 test included an advisory regarding thinning brake pads and a minor windscreen defect, these issues appear to have been addressed or resolved, given the clean result in the subsequent 2025 inspection. The recorded mileage of 55,475 miles against an eight-year age profile indicates a usage pattern of approximately 6,934 miles per year. This level of annual accumulation is consistent with typical UK driving habits and suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive high-speed motorway mileage or, conversely, the potential mechanical stagnation associated with very low-mileage usage. From a mechanical perspective, this moderate usage rate implies that while consumables such as tyres and brake components will require regular inspection, the vehicle has likely seen enough regular movement to prevent significant build-up of moisture or lack of lubrication in moving parts. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system during a test drive, specifically addressing the advisory noted in October 2024 regarding the offside front brake pads. Although the 2025 record shows no current defects, it is prudent to check for any uneven braking performance or a pulling sensation towards the offside when applying the brakes at moderate speeds. Any rhythmic pulsation or judder through the brake pedal during deceleration could indicate uneven wear or disc surface issues that may have developed following the previous advisory. The minor windscreen damage noted in the 2024 record should also be visually inspected to ensure no new chips or cracks have propagated across the driver's field of vision. During the test drive, ensure that the steering remains centered and free from vibrations, as the moderate mileage profile means suspension components like bushes and ball joints will be entering a stage of life where wear is a standard consideration. While no specific suspension or structural issues have been flagged in the DVSA history, a thorough check for any knocks or knocks over uneven road surfaces remains a standard precaution for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
