2015 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · SW15 CPX

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a clear trend toward improving maintenance standards. Following a problematic test in mid-2023, the two most recent inspections in October 2025 passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical and structural issues identified in previous years have been addressed, resulting in a clean sheet for the most recent test conducted eight months ago. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old Honda vehicle, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per annum. The data shows steady usage, with 12,933 miles covered between the July 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 18,544 miles in the year leading to October 2025. This regularity suggests the car is used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which often helps prevent the premature degradation of rubber components and brake seals common in vehicles of this age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension geometry, as the July 2023 test at 96,855 miles flagged wear on both the nearside and offside rear upper suspension arm bushes. While the subsequent tests showed no faults, the previous history of wear suggests these components are a known point of potential failure. It is also worth checking the front brake pads to ensure they were replaced following the thinning advisory, as these were the only other items requiring attention in 2023. The transition from multiple advisories in 2023 to a clean record in 2025 suggests the current owner is proactive in responding to mechanical needs. Given the 128,332-mile reading, a physical check of the chassis for corrosion and the exhaust mounting points remains standard, though the MOT history does not indicate any structural integrity issues. The overall data reflects a vehicle that has undergone a period of visible wear but has since settled into a stable maintenance cycle.
