2015 Honda HR-V 1.6L Diesel · WR65 LGD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of degradation regarding suspension components and peripheral hardware. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 146,366 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just four days prior. This indicates that the owner addressed immediate reactive items like the fog lamp and wiper blade, but the presence of worn front suspension arm bushes suggests the vehicle is entering a phase requiring mechanical investment in front-end components. At 146,366 miles, this eleven-year-old Honda HR-V has averaged approximately 13,300 miles per year, which sits above the national average for older vehicles. The data shows consistent high usage, with 12,586 miles covered between the September 2024 and September 2025 tests, and another 14,542 miles in the preceding year. This steady high-mileage profile places significant stress on the drivetrain and chassis, explaining the appearance of wear on the suspension geometry noted in the latest inspection. A prospective buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as the tester specifically flagged both the nearside and offside front arm bushes as worn. Although the movement was not yet excessive enough to fail, these components typically lead to handling instability and uneven tyre wear if ignored. The distorted nearside inner road wheel also warrants a physical check for impact damage or vibration, as wheel deformation often results from a significant strike that could have affected the alignment. Given the high mileage and the recent failure of the washer jets and wiper blades, the buyer should verify the overall condition of the rubber components and the functionality of the visibility system. The history suggests a pattern of reactive maintenance where minor electrical and mechanical faults are overlooked until a test fails. Focus the inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the state of the shock absorbers to ensure the high mileage has not resulted in deeper fatigue beyond the recorded suspension wear.
