SW67 HCU MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2017 Honda Hr-V (SW67 HCU) between March 2024 and March 2026.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 04 March 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (7 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 11 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Brake pedal anti-slip provision missing (1.1.2 (c))”; “Tyre pressure monitoring system malfunctioning or obviously inoperative (5.2.3 (h))”; “Nearside Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the high fre
When inspecting this HR-V, focus heavily on the tyres and braking system, as these have been recurring points of failure in the last two years. The 2026 MOT noted a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) malfunction, which can be an expensive electronic repair, so ensure all warning lights are extinguished during a test drive.
Negotiate the purchase price to reflect the immediate need for new tyres and brake pads. Since the vehicle has failed two consecutive MOT tests before passing, verify whether the items flagged as 'worn' or 'damaged' have been fully rectified or merely passed with advisories. A full service history is essential to determine if the drive belt and brake components have been replaced as recommended.
The 1.5-litre petrol engine is generally efficient, but running costs will be influenced by the need for frequent tyre and brake maintenance. Insurance groups for the HR-V are typically moderate, though individual premiums will vary based on your personal driving history.
Annual road tax is determined by the vehicle's CO2 emissions, which for this 2017 model generally falls into the standard petrol rates. Expect an estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, to be in the region of £1,200 to £1,500, with a higher initial outlay required to address the outstanding MOT advisories.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyres; the MOT history highlights repeated issues with cracking, perishing, and uneven wear on both rear tyres. Check the tread depth and sidewall condition of all four tyres, including the spare if applicable.
Test the brake pedal feel and listen for any grinding noises, as the offside front pads were noted as wearing thin in March 2026. Additionally, verify that the TPMS system is functioning correctly, as this was a specific failure point in the most recent test. Ensure the brake pedal anti-slip cover is present, as its absence has been flagged in multiple tests.
This 2017 Honda HR-V has covered 32,178 miles, which is significantly below the average for a vehicle of this age. However, the MOT history from 2025 and 2026 shows a pattern of failures related to tyre condition, brake pad wear, and electrical sensors. Prospective buyers should account for the cost of immediate tyre replacements and brake servicing upon purchase.
The Honda HR-V generally performs well in MOT data, though tyre, windscreen wiper, and brake pad issues are common failure points across the model range.
