2013 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · M2 EUA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2026-03-04 at 79,694 miles, with no critical defects recorded. However, the maintenance trend shows a concerning progression of wear and deterioration in key components, particularly tyres and rear suspension elements, indicating that preventative care has not been consistently applied. The nearside rear tyre was worn to within 0.5mm of the legal limit, while all four tyres exhibited signs of cracking or perishing—issues that were first flagged in 2024 and have persisted, suggesting ongoing neglect in tyre replacement and inspection cycles. The mileage accumulation over the past three years is consistent with average use: approximately 13,000 miles between 2023 and 2025, and just under 13,000 since 2025. There are no significant gaps in testing, with annual MOTs maintained, though the 2023 test revealed two separate outcomes—first a pass, then a fail—on the same day, likely due to a delayed correction of the rear fog lamp. This inconsistency raises questions about the reliability of previous servicing records and implies that some issues were addressed only after the initial failure. A buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the rear suspension system, particularly the Macpherson struts, which have shown progressive corrosion since 2023 and remain a concern despite being deemed not seriously weakened. The rear brake pads were already down to 3mm in 2023 and may now be approaching minimum thickness, especially given the uneven wear noted previously. All four tyres display visible damage to the sidewalls and treads, warranting immediate replacement regardless of tread depth. Additionally, the persistent TPMS warning light from 2024 suggests a potential issue with the sensor system or low-pressure conditions, which should be diagnosed before purchase.
