Mechanical Assessment
The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean MOT pass recorded in February 2026 at 144,164 miles. Following a single failure in late 2022, the car has undergone three consecutive inspections without any recorded defects or advisories. This trend suggests that the previous owner has addressed any mechanical requirements promptly and that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard of operational readiness over the last three years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with 7,736 miles covered between November 2023 and February 2025, and another 9,551 miles between the February 2025 and February 2026 tests. This regular interval generally indicates the car has not sat stationary for extended periods, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components, seals, and corrosion of brake lines. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of high-wear areas common to the CR-V of this generation. At 144,000 miles, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for signs of tearing or fluid leakage. The buyer should also inspect the structural integrity of the rear subframe and sills for surface corrosion, as the MOT test only identifies structural rust once it reaches a failing threshold. Checking the brake discs for thinning and ensuring the calipers are not binding remains advisable to confirm the clean electronic record reflects the current mechanical state of the vehicle.
