Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2021 Honda Hr V Advance I Mmd CVT?

Moderate sample. 300 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This 2021 Honda HR-V is exceptionally reliable, with a 96.8% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects are vanishingly rare at just 1.0% of vehicles. The low failure rate of 0.08 per vehicle tells you this model is well-engineered and holding up remarkably well.

At around 21,800 miles median, these cars are still relatively young and low-mileage for their age, which explains the stellar results. The single advisory per vehicle on average suggests minor wear is the only real concern at this stage, so if you're buying one, a basic pre-purchase inspection for consumables like brakes and tyres is all you really need to focus on.

The 2021 Honda Hr V Advance I Mmd CVT passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (97.5% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
