2014 Honda CR-V SE I-Dtec 4X2 1.6L Heavy oil · N70 OGE

A consistent track record of clean MOT certificates defines this vehicle's documented history, with no recorded defects or advisories appearing across seven consecutive tests spanning from 2017 to the most recent pass on 13 April 2026. This lack of recorded failures or even minor advisories suggests that the components inspected during the annual DVSA checks have remained within legal operating limits throughout the recorded period. The absence of any flagged issues regarding structural integrity, braking systems, or lighting across nearly a decade of testing provides a baseline of documented compliance for the vehicle's various mechanical systems. The vehicle's mileage profile indicates a high-use pattern, having covered 144,228 miles over its twelve-year lifespan. This equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 12,019 miles, which is higher than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. From a mechanical perspective, this level of sustained usage typically correlates with increased wear on consumable components such as suspension bushes, shock absorbers, brake discs, and various drivetrain elements. While the MOT history shows no recorded failures, the high mileage necessitates a focus on the mechanical fatigue that naturally accompanies long-term, high-frequency road use. Given the absence of specific advisories in the official records, a prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that are subject to wear but may not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical state. During a test drive, pay close attention to the suspension and steering for any signs of deterioration; listen for knocks, clunks, or knocks when traversing uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which could indicate worn bushings or ball joints. Additionally, monitor the steering for any pulling to one side or vibrations through the steering wheel, which may point to issues with wheel alignment or steering linkages. The braking system and drivetrain also require careful scrutiny due to the high cumulative mileage. Test the brake pedal feel for any sponginess, pulsation, or judder under braking, which can indicate worn discs or sticking calipers. Since the vehicle is a diesel model with significant mileage, it is also prudent to monitor for any signs of oil misting or leaks around the engine and gearbox, as well as checking for excessive exhaust smoke or unusual engine noises. While the MOT history is clean, the high mileage means these mechanical checks are essential to identify wear that has not yet been formally recorded by a tester.
