Inspection Summary
The vehicle, identified by VIN 3CZRZ1H37PM710516, is in overall excellent condition across most components. The inspection reveals good exterior aesthetics, a solid frame, and well-functioning internal systems. However, there is one critical area of concern regarding an O2 sensor fault that requires attention.
Key Areas of Concern:
1. O2 Sensor Issue: There is an active diagnostic trouble code (DTC P0133) indicating a slow response from the upstream oxygen sensor. This issue can impact fuel economy and emissions if not addressed.
2. Driver's Window Operation: The driver's window operates with noticeable lag, which could suggest early wear of the window regulator or motor.
3. Minor Stains on Driver's Seat: The driver's seat shows minor stains, indicating some wear.
Actionable Insights:
- O2 Sensor: It's recommended to inspect the oxygen sensor's wiring and connectors, check for exhaust leaks, and replace the sensor if necessary. Replacement costs are estimated between $359–$382. Ignoring this issue could cause further internal engine complications and higher repair costs.
- Window Regulator Repair: If the driver's window continues to lag, consider servicing or replacing the window regulator, with repair costs estimated at $471–$891.
- Professional Cleaning of Seats: For the driver's seat stains, a professional detailing service is suggested, with costs ranging from $50 to $150 depending on severity.
Impactful Observations:
- While the vehicle's overall condition is highly positive, the active O2 sensor issue is a potential negotiating point in the purchase price. Addressing this issue early can prevent long-term complications and increased emissions.
- The cosmetic imperfections in the seating may also influence perceived value but are easily remedied with cleaning.
- Ensure that any issues discussed above are thoroughly understood before finalizing the purchase to avoid unexpected expenses.

Tire Inspection
Tire Summary
Understanding Tire Inspection:
Tread Depth
- Pass (Good Condition): ≥ 6/32" (≥ 4.8mm) - Plenty of tread remaining, no immediate concern.
- Pass w/ Concerns (Monitor & Replace Soon): 4/32" – 5/32" (3.2mm – 4.0mm) - Tread is wearing down; replacement recommended soon, especially in wet conditions.
- Fail (Replace Immediately): ≤ 3/32" (≤ 2.4mm) - Unsafe for driving, increased risk of hydroplaning and poor traction.
Tire Sidewall Damage
- No damage (Pass) - Sidewall intact with no cuts, bulges, or abnormalities. Rubber in good condition.
- Cosmetic damage (Pass w/concerns) - Minor scratches or scuffs only. No exposed cords or deep gouges. Safe to drive.
- Structural damage (Fail) - Visible cords, bulges/bubbles, or punctures in sidewall. Requires replacement.
Wheel / Rim Damage
- No damage (Pass) - Wheel is true with no cracks, dents or corrosion. Maintains proper air seal with tire.
- Cosmetic damage (Pass w/concerns) - Minor scratches or light curb rash only. Doesn't affect function or tire seal.
- Structural damage (Fail) - Bends causing vibration, cracks, significant dents, or severe corrosion. Requires replacement.
Watch Items
Red Flags
Obd Codes
P0133
This code means the upstream oxygen sensor is switching too slowly. That sensor monitors exhaust oxygen so the ECU can control the air-fuel mixture, which impacts fuel economy and emissions. If ignored, prolonged rich/lean correction can increase fuel consumption and, over time, stress the catalytic converter. Importantly, P0133 is often caused by the sensor itself (aging/contamination) rather than a deeper engine issue. Other possibilities include wiring/connector problems or a small exhaust leak upstream of the sensor.
For a 2023 Honda HR-V, replacing an oxygen sensor typically costs $359–$382 parts + labor (estimate varies by location and parts) [Source: repairpal] (https://repairpal.com/estimator/honda/hr-v/oxygen-sensor-replacement-cost). Address promptly: inspect wiring/connectors and check for exhaust leaks; if confirmed, replace the sensor, clear the code, and verify normal operation.
