2020 Honda CR-V 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · SY20 JXG

The vehicle presents a mixed roadworthiness profile with a worsening trend regarding minor cosmetic and peripheral defects. While the most recent test on 3 March 2026 at 12,523 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed the initial inspection due to an ineffective offside front windscreen wiper, a defective fog lamp lens, and a damaged or insecure offside front lower bumper. This follows a similar failure pattern in the 26 February 2025 test at 9,648 miles, where the tester flagged an ineffective nearside front wiper and issues with the offside front fog lamp. The mileage pattern indicates very light usage, averaging approximately 2,087 miles per year over the six-year period. The data shows a consistent, albeit slow, accumulation of distance, moving from 7,075 miles in March 2023 to 12,523 miles in March 2026. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components like wiper blades or the drying out of seals, potentially explaining the recurring issues with windscreen wipers and light fittings. A prospective buyer should focus on the recurring minor faults that suggest a lack of attention to small maintenance items. The repeated failure of wiper blades and the persistent issues with the fog lamp assembly and bumper security indicate that the previous owner may have overlooked minor consumable replacements and cosmetic repairs. While no serious structural corrosion, brake binding, or suspension failures appear in the record, the history of minor failures warrants a physical inspection of the front bumper mounting points and the condition of all exterior lighting lenses and wiper assemblies.
