2019 Honda HR-V 1.5L Petrol · SWM 22

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 71,090 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that any previously identified minor issues have likely been addressed. This trend suggests a proactive approach to maintenance, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record over the last five years of testing. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between February 2022 at 26,149 miles and January 2026 at 71,090 miles, the car covered roughly 45,000 miles, representing steady usage patterns rather than long periods of stationary or excessive heavy loading. The intervals between tests remain regular, which typically correlates with a standard service schedule and reduces the risk of neglected mechanical components. A buyer should pay specific attention to the light misting on the offside front shock absorber noted during the January 2025 test at 59,023 miles. While the January 2026 test passed without defect, oil misting is a precursor to seal failure and eventual damping loss. A physical inspection of the strut assembly is required to ensure the leak has not progressed into a significant failure. Given the lack of structural corrosion or-related issues in the history, the focus should remain on these suspension components and general wear on consumables as the vehicle approaches the 80,000-mile threshold.
