This 2016 CR-V diesel is struggling relative to the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of just 70.8% against the national 80%—meaning nearly 3 in 10 fail their MOT. The good news is there are no dangerous defects recorded in this cohort and advisories are essentially non-existent, so failures tend to be fixable rather than safety-critical.

At 69,000 miles median mileage, these cars are running higher than typical for their age, yet they're generating very few failures per vehicle on average (0.09), suggesting the diesel engine itself remains robust when it does pass. If you're considering one, budget for potential MOT work upfront and factor in that slightly elevated mileage—but don't be put off by the pass rate dip alone, as the absence of dangerous defects indicates these are repairable issues rather than structural problems.
