Honda Cr V Ex I Dtec (2015)
2015 Honda Cr V Ex I Dtec
CarHunch analysed 127 real MOT records for the 2015 Honda Cr V Ex I Dtec. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2015 Honda CR-V diesel struggles at MOT time, with a first-time pass rate of just 70.9% against the UK average of 80%—meaning roughly one in three examples fail their test. The good news is that dangerous defects are essentially non-existent in this cohort, so safety isn't the concern; the failures tend to be fixable issues rather than deal-breakers.
At nearly 80,000 miles median, these cars are mid-mileage for their age and showing minimal advisory items, suggesting the diesels themselves are mechanically sound. Before buying one, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the specific failure items (suspension, emissions, brakes) that are dragging the pass rate down—many buyers inherit someone else's deferred maintenance rather than inherent problems.
What to check before buying a 2015 Honda Cr V Ex I Dtec
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
