2001 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · B788 SUE

The vehicle maintains a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT conducted on 29 January 2026 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This performance indicates a stable and well-maintained mechanical condition over the last four years. The absence of advisories across the 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests suggests that the owner has proactively addressed potential issues before they reached the point of failure, reflecting a high standard of upkeep for a vehicle of this age. With a recorded mileage of 135,362 miles over a 25-year service life, the vehicle averages approximately 5,414 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile is consistent and does not show evidence of long periods of inactivity or erratic usage patterns. The MOT history is remarkably clean, showing no failures related to mechanical neglect or structural deterioration. The single failure recorded on 28 January 2025 appears to be an administrative anomaly or a minor oversight, as the vehicle successfully passed its retest just three days later without any recorded defects. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on areas prone to age-related degradation that may not be captured during a standard MOT. Given the age of this Honda, check the underside for structural corrosion on the chassis rails and subframe mounts, as surface rust can often be overlooked in clean test records. Inspect the rubber suspension bushes and CV joint gaiters for signs of perishing, as these components frequently degrade due to time rather than mileage. While the engine and drivetrain appear reliable based on the test history, verify the condition of the cooling system hoses and check for any signs of weeping oil from the engine gaskets, which are common points of failure for this specific model.
