2009 Honda CR-V ES I-Ctdi 2.2L Heavy oil · MHZ 6157

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently compromised following a failed MOT test on March 16 2026, at 117,216 miles. While the vehicle maintained a clean record of consecutive passes between 2021 and 2024, the most recent failure without recorded defects suggests an administrative error or a specific test-related rejection that remains unresolved. The maintenance trend shifted from stable over several years to a state requiring immediate attention before the car can be considered roadworthy again. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. There is a notable period of low usage between April 2021 and April 2022, where the car covered only 1,019 miles in a full year. However, usage increased significantly thereafter, with nearly 20,000 miles recorded between October 2024 and March 2026. This shift from light use to higher-frequency driving can accelerate the wear of rubber-hardened suspension bushes and brake components, which are common failure points on CR-Vs of this age. A buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on the structural integrity and underbody, as the history provides no specific advisories to guide the search. Given the age and mileage, checking for corrosion on the rear subframe and exhaust mounting points is essential. The buyer should also inspect the suspension for binding calipers or worn coil springs, as the previous clean records do not rule out mechanical fatigue. Since the latest failure recorded no specific defects, verifying the exact reason for the failure with the tester is the highest priority before any transaction.
