2005 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · C14 DBY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-18 at 137,215 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, prior tests in 2025-08-12 (137,101 miles) and 2023-08-03 (125,893 miles) both failed without recorded defects, suggesting potential issues that may have been rectified. The absence of specific fault details limits definitive conclusions, but the pattern of passing and failing tests at similar mileages implies intermittent compliance rather than a clear trend of deterioration or improvement. The vehicle’s mileage of 137,215 miles over 21 years equates to approximately 6,534 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. MOT tests were conducted annually between 2023 and 2025, with no significant gaps or spikes in mileage accumulation. The consistent interval between tests and steady mileage suggest regular maintenance, though the lack of defect records in failing tests prevents assessment of underlying issues. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to wear in older vehicles. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these are common in high-mileage models. Structural rust, especially in the underbody and wheel arches, warrants close examination, as corrosion can compromise integrity over time. The absence of recorded defects does not eliminate these risks, as MOT tests may not detect all mechanical or structural concerns.
