HONDA CR-V2013 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test in July 2025 at 63,050 miles, this followed a significant failure just one week prior at 62,987 miles. The failure record highlighted multiple mechanical deficiencies across the braking, suspension, and tyre systems, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults when they are flagged by an official MOT tester rather than performing routine preventative maintenance between annual intervals. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,850 miles per year to reach 63,050 miles. This low-utilization pattern often leads to the degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear, which is evident in the July 2025 entry where the tester flagged perishing and cracking on the front tyres despite the low odometer. The intervals between tests are consistent, but the lack of high mileage suggests the vehicle may sit for extended periods, which can contribute to brake corrosion and seized components. A buyer must carefully inspect the braking system and suspension assembly before purchase. The 2025 records identified pitted and scored brake discs alongside thin pads, and a previously failed parking brake due to excessive lever movement and inoperative operation. The deteriorated offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover and the nearside anti-roll bar linkage indicate that the suspension components are beginning to fail. You should verify that these parts have been replaced and that the parking brake now holds firmly, as these issues have been recurring points of concern in the vehicle's history.
