HONDA CR-V2008 · 2.2L Diesel

The 2008 Honda CR-V remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its last four MOT tests, including the most recent September 2025 inspection at 208,402 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, as all tests from 2022 to 2025 passed without issues, indicating consistent upkeep. The single failed test in August 2022 at 186,930 miles recorded no defects, suggesting it may have been a procedural error or unrelated to mechanical condition. No recurring faults or escalating concerns are evident in the history. The vehicle’s mileage of 208,402 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 11,578 miles, reflecting typical wear for its 18-year age. Tests are spaced consistently, with no gaps exceeding 12 months, implying regular servicing. The absence of defects in all recorded tests, despite high mileage, suggests the previous owner prioritized maintenance. However, the lack of detailed fault records limits insight into potential hidden issues, such as gradual suspension wear or exhaust system degradation. A buyer should inspect the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the chassis and exhaust system, given the vehicle’s age. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, may require checking for wear, as high mileage often accelerates fatigue in these areas. Brake discs and calipers should be assessed for uneven wear or binding, as prolonged use can compromise stopping power. While the MOT history shows no immediate risks, physical inspection is critical to confirm the integrity of components not tested during MOTs.
