2017 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · YG17 JDV

A recurring pattern of tyre-related compliance issues defines the recent MOT history for this Honda CR-V, transitioning from edge wear advisories in 2023 to a dangerous failure in July 2025. While the vehicle achieved a clean pass on 24 July 2026, the previous failure for both nearside and offside rear tyre tread depths falling below the 1.6mm legal limit indicates a period where consumable wear was not being monitored closely before testing. This trend of tyre-related defects suggests that while the vehicle is currently compliant, the maintenance of running gear has been reactive rather than proactive in recent years. The vehicle has covered 110,474 miles over its nine-year lifespan, averaging approximately 12,275 miles per year. This represents a relatively high annual mileage for a vehicle of this age, which typically correlates with increased mechanical wear on components such as suspension bushes, dampers, and braking systems. This consistent usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been subject to regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which can help prevent certain types of deterioration associated with standing vehicles, though it necessitates a more rigorous inspection of all wear-and-tear items. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the tyre and wheel assembly history. Given the 2025 failure for low tread depth on the rear tyres and the 2023 advisories for front tyre edge wear, it is essential to check the current condition of all four tyres for uneven wear patterns. During a test drive, pay close attention to any steering pull or vibration at motorway speeds, which could indicate alignment issues or suspension geometry problems that may have contributed to the recorded edge wear. Additionally, listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces, as the higher mileage increases the likelihood of worn suspension linkages or bushings. The recent clean pass in July 2026 provides a baseline of current roadworthiness, but the history of tyre defects means the mechanical integrity of the steering and suspension should be verified. Ensure that the steering feels centered and that there is no excessive play in the wheel if the vehicle is jacked up. While no structural corrosion or fluid leaks were recorded in the DVSA history, the high mileage warrants a close visual inspection of the underside for any signs of weeping from dampers or excessive buildup of road grime that could mask component wear.
