2016 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · YP16 AEE

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, maintaining a perfectly stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 18 November 2025 at 48,968 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This clean sheet across five consecutive annual tests indicates the previous owners have consistently maintained the vehicle to a professional standard, with no mechanical failures or structural weaknesses being flagged by the DVSA testers. The mileage profile is notably low for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. Between the November 2021 test at 29,353 miles and the November 2024 test at 44,960 miles, the car covered roughly 5,200 miles annually. This consistent usage suggests short-distance trips, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, the lack of high mileage also means the vehicle has not been subjected to the high-temperature cooling cycles often associated with long-distance motorway driving. While the MOT record shows no history of faults, a buyer should physically inspect components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Low-distance driving can lead to flat-spototted tyres, perished rubber seals, and seized brake calipers due to lack of use. The inspector should check the chassis for signs of surface corrosion and inspect suspension bushes, as these components can degrade over time regardless of the miles driven. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the condition of the fluids and the battery system is essential to ensure the low-mileage status has not masked underlying environmental degradation.
