2019 Honda Cr-V MOT pass rate: 95.0% (24,578 tests)
Is the 2019 Cr-V getting worse?
Pass rate of 2019-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 95.9% +6.1 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 95.0% +6.7 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 94.1% +7.1 vs same-age |
The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

What mileage is too high for a 2019 Cr-V?
