2021 Honda CR-V 2.0L Hybrid electric · YL71 LFO

The Honda CR-V presents a clean bill of health in its most recent MOT, having passed on 9 December 2025 at 12,917 miles with zero defects recorded. This marks a clear improvement from the August 2024 test, where a defective front wiper blade caused a smear on the windscreen. The maintenance trend is therefore positive, with the sole advisory resolved and no new mechanical or structural faults emerging since. The vehicle appears to have been kept in sound running order across its two recorded tests. At roughly five years old with only 12,917 miles on the clock, the annual average sits around 2,583 miles, which is notably low for a vehicle of this type. The mileage progression from 9,995 miles in August 2024 to 12,917 miles by December 2025 shows an accumulation of approximately 2,922 miles over sixteen months, a modest uptick from the earlier pace but still well within the range of light, irregular use. The sparse record, limited to just two tests, means there is no extended history to draw from, but what exists is consistently clean. With no recurring mechanical or structural faults on record, the MOT data alone raises no red flags regarding suspension, braking components, or corrosion. A prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection, paying close attention to the condition of tyres, brake discs and pads, suspension bushes, and underside sealant for any signs of deterioration that can occur during prolonged stationary periods. Low-mileage vehicles are not immune to perishing rubber components or surface corrosion on exposed metal, particularly if the car has spent extended time standing idle between short journeys.
