2018 HONDA CR-V1.6L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 26 August 2022 at 65,727 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the vehicle maintained a high standard of operational readiness up to that point, with no immediate mechanical or structural failures identified by the tester. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per annum. Between the August 2021 test at 45,146 miles and the August 2022 test at 65,727 miles, the car covered 20,581 miles in a single year, suggesting regular highway use rather than long periods of standing, which helps prevent brake corrosion and component seizing. However, the last recorded test is now nearly four years old, meaning the current state of the vehicle remains unverified by the DVSA standards. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components that age over time regardless of low mileage. Since the record is clean, the focus should shift to checking for perished rubber in the suspension bushes and worn coil springs, which are common failure points on the CR-V of this era. Examine the brake calipers for signs of binding and inspect the discs for cracking or deep pitting-corrosion. Given the significant gap since the last official entry, a fresh MOT is essential to ensure that no structural corrosion or fluid leaks have developed since the 2022 inspection.
