2009 HONDA CR-V2.2L Diesel

The 2009 Honda CR-V presents as roadworthy at its most recent examination. The April 2026 test at 123,566 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend is stable across the observed period. Two earlier failures in 2024 and 2025 were logged with no defects stated by the tester, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults, with clean passes issued days later at near-identical mileages. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 17-year-old vehicle. The record shows 116,223 miles in February 2024, rising to 118,079 by March 2025 and 123,566 by April 2026, equating to roughly 2,800 to 5,500 miles per year in the sampled windows against an overall average of 7,269. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear; the sparse but clean history offers little evidence of neglect, though the absence of advisories across five tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and warrants physical verification. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, particularly chassis rails and subframe mounts, given the lack of recorded advisories on a 2009 model. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs should be physically measured for wear, as MOT testers occasionally omit minor cracking or lip formation on discs when emissions and linkage checks pass. The repeated no-defect failures on 13 February 2024 and 19 March 2025, reversed within two days, imply the previous owner used a consistent garage and addressed any raised points promptly. Verify the V5C and service book against the 118,095 and 123,566 mile stamps to confirm the odometer trace, and test-drive for binding calipers or drivetrain vibration before purchase.
