2003 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · GF 1466

The 2003 Honda CR-V’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-22 at 145,154 miles recorded a pass with no defects. However, the vehicle’s MOT history reveals inconsistent outcomes, including a failed test on 2025-08-19 at 145,094 miles and a prior failed test on 2024-08-19 at 141,699 miles, both without recorded defects. This pattern suggests potential issues with testing accuracy, procedural errors, or unresolved minor faults that were later rectified. The absence of defects in the latest test implies the vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recurring failures without detailed findings raise concerns about the reliability of the maintenance record. The car’s mileage of 145,154 miles over 23 years equates to approximately 6,311 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. However, the MOT records show minimal mileage progression between tests, such as the 3,277-mile gap between the 2023-08-18 test (138,422 miles) and the 2024-08-19 test (141,699 miles). This suggests periods of reduced activity, which could contribute to component degradation from inactivity, such as seized joints or corrosion. The lack of defect entries in all tests, despite the failed outcomes, complicates assessing the vehicle’sTrue mechanical state. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the age and potential for wear. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny, as recurring MOT failures without defects may indicate intermittent issues. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or corrosion could affect the chassis or body panels. The vehicle’s history does not highlight major faults, but the inconsistent MOT results necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its ongoing reliability.
