2012 HONDA CR-V2.2L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 6 March 2026 at 119,983 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, though the record shows a shift from a clean history in the earlier years to more frequent minor advisories as the car aged. The most recent test noted that undertrays were fitted, which is a positive sign of basic chassis maintenance. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 8,570 miles per year. There are no erratic jumps in usage or long periods of inactivity. The distance covered between March 2024 and March 2026 shows a steady increase from 106,587 to 119,983 miles, suggesting regular, predictable use. A buyer should focus on the suspension and steering components during a physical inspection. The March 2023 test at 100,368 miles flagged slight play in both the nearside and offside front inner track rod end ball joints. While these did not cause a failure, they indicate wear in the steering rack assembly. Similarly, the March 2022 test at 93,363 miles noted perished front shock absorber gaiters and long handbrake lever travel. Rubber components and tyres require close scrutiny. The March 2025 test at 114,526 miles highlighted cracking and perishing on both rear tyres, suggesting the vehicle may have spent time stationary or that the owner neglected tyre replacement cycles. The failure in March 2024 due to incorrect indicator colours was a simple rectification, but the recurring mentions of deteriorated registration plates over several years suggest a lax approach to cosmetic upkeep.
