HONDA CR-V2008 · 2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clear trend of improving mechanical condition. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 62,345 miles resulted in a pass with no advisories, indicating that issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This transition from multiple recorded defects to a clean sheet suggests the current ownership is taking proactive steps to maintain the vehicle. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,460 miles per annum. Between the October 2021 and 2025 tests, the car covered 12,533 miles, maintaining a consistent pattern of low-intensity use. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it often increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based parts and corrosion due to inactivity, which aligns with the suspension issues noted in the 2023 record. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension and the exhaust system. The 2023 test flagged worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms; while these appear to have been rectified or monitored since, a buyer should verify there is no remaining play or perished rubber in the assemblies. Additionally, the exhaust joint reported in poor condition in September 2023 should be checked for signs of fresh leaks or structural thinning, as these components are prone to corrosion regardless of mileage. The braking history shows a recurring pattern of thin rear brake pads in both 2021 and 2022. Since the vehicle passed the subsequent tests without this advisory, the pads were likely replaced, but the discs should be examined for pitting or uneven wear. Given the age of the vehicle, the buyer should also inspect the underbody for structural rust and check the brake lines, as low-mileage cars often suffer from seized calipers if they are not used regularly.
