2006 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · LN06 AAY

The September 2025 MOT at 94,958 miles confirmed roadworthiness, though the tester issued several advisories concerning front coil spring corrosion, front suspension arm corrosion and deteriorated suspension dust covers, indicating that the vehicle remains fit for use but requires attention to these components; the maintenance trend appears stable, with recurring suspension wear rather than a clear worsening pattern. Covering a 20‑year lifespan, the recorded mileage of 94,958 equates to roughly 4,750 miles per year, a figure that is low for the age and suggests periods of limited use; mileage rose incrementally from 72,629 miles in July 2020 to 88,028 miles in September 2024, a gain of about 15,400 miles over four years, or 3,850 miles annually, while the intervening years show modest increases and no abrupt jumps, implying consistent, moderate usage. A buyer should prioritize a close inspection of the front suspension system, examining the corroded coil springs, the condition of the front suspension arms and the integrity of the ball‑joint dust covers, as these items have repeatedly appeared as advisories since 2019 and may conceal rust‑induced weakening of structural components. In addition, the braking system warrants scrutiny: previous tests noted rear parking brake efficiency just meeting the standard, rear brake disc pitting and wear, and thin rear brake pads, so the condition of the rear discs, pad thickness, and the operation of the parking brake must be verified; uneven tyre wear linked to differing front and rear tyre sizes also requires assessment to ensure tyre replacement is not overdue.
