2019 Honda CR-V 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · WD68 VSL

The most recent MOT, carried out on 2 March 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle presently meets the statutory roadworthiness requirements. Over the six‑year record the only failure occurred in early 2024, when a dangerous near‑side front tyre bulge and ineffective front wipers were flagged; these items were rectified and the vehicle subsequently passed the following day and all later tests, suggesting a maintenance response that has restored the car to a stable condition. At 70 438 miles the CR‑V averages just over 10 000 miles per annum, which is typical for a family SUV of its age. The mileage progression shows no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that would raise concerns about uneven wear or component fatigue. The moderate annual usage implies that consumables such as brake pads, suspension bushes and engine oil are likely to be within normal wear limits, provided they have been serviced in line with the manufacturer’s schedule. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the front tyre that previously exhibited a bulge, as this points to a structural failure of the carcass that can re‑occur if the tyre was not replaced with a fresh unit of the correct specification. Verify that all four tyres are of the same brand, model and tread depth, and inspect the sidewalls for any signs of cracking, dry rot or low‑grade tread wear, especially given the vehicle is now seven years old – tyres older than six years can deteriorate even if the tread appears adequate. The wiper system, which was previously deemed ineffective, should be tested for full sweep coverage and adequate blade pressure; listen for any intermittent motor noise that could indicate a failing motor or worn linkage. During a test drive, monitor for vibrations or shuddering when braking, which could reveal latent disc corrosion or uneven pad wear, and check for any clunking from the front suspension that might suggest worn ball joints or bushings. Beyond the specific items above, a comprehensive age‑related inspection is advisable. Examine the 12‑volt battery for signs of sulfation or reduced cranking power, particularly if the car has spent extended periods idle; a load test at a reputable garage will confirm its health. Inspect the brake discs for surface rust, scoring or glazing, and verify that the calipers move freely without binding. Check the condition of the engine oil, coolant and brake fluid – all of which degrade over time and should be refreshed at least every two years regardless of mileage. Finally, assess the condition of the under‑body for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and suspension mounting points, and ensure that the exhaust system is free of cracks or excessive rust, as these can affect emissions compliance and overall durability.
