Hello Everyone,

I like Honda's engineering culture, as well as its engine and practical driving experience.

I'm looking at this:
Honda HR-V 1.6 i-DTEC EX 2015/65 150k mileage,
Light body scratches, one 3cm windscreen crack at the side, and light moisture in the lamp side cover.

I don't know if £5k is worth taking it, and my family and friends suggest I use AA comprehensive inspection before buying.
What do you think?

Thanks,
Z

At that mileage and description, if I was in your position most definitely get the AA to do a full survey.

I would also recommend a thorough inspection and a check on the service history. That vintage HR-V would have been built in Mexico (VIN starting with 3HG) and there were build quality issues and some components which didn't stand up to the test of time. One is the air hose which is vulnerable to splitting and upsetting the vehicle. It's also possible that such bugs have long been fixed.

With a car of that age and mileage, I would want to know the condition of the DPF, and how it has been driven; multiple stop/start journeys (courier vehicle for example), or has it beena motorway muncher.



DPF's eventually fill up with ash and have to be replaced, which given the age and mileage of your intended purchase, may make it financially unviable.
