2002 Honda CR-V I-Vtec SE Sport 2.0L Petrol · IKZ 7466

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 18 August 2025 with no defects recorded. The overall maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the DVSA records show a consistent history of passes without any recorded advisories or failures since 2017, with the exception of a single failure in 2019 that was resolved immediately. Such a clean record for a vehicle of this vintage is uncommon and suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very well-preserved example. With a recorded mileage of 151,504 miles over a 24-year lifespan, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,313 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile, avoiding the pitfalls of excessive wear associated with high-mileage fleet vehicles while also avoiding the stagnation issues common in very low-mileage examples. At this stage of its life, the mechanical focus shifts from general usage wear to the degradation of age-related components and the long-term health of the drivetrain. Given the absence of MOT advisories, a prospective buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection to identify wear that may not have reached the threshold of a legal failure. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often perish with age regardless of mileage. During a test drive, listen for clunks or knocks over uneven surfaces, which would indicate worn bushings or ball joints. Additionally, inspect the tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, as tyres can expire due to age even if the tread depth remains legal. It is essential to verify the service history to ensure that calendar-based maintenance has been performed. This includes checking for recent brake fluid flushes, coolant changes, and oil services, as fluids degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Inspect the brake discs for heavy corrosion or signs of binding calipers, and check the 12V battery health. Finally, a thorough inspection of the chassis, sills, and wheel arches is advised to identify any surface corrosion or structural oxidation that may not have been flagged during the MOT process but could compromise the vehicle's long-term integrity.
