HONDA CR-V2010 · 2.0L PETROL

The 2010 Honda CR-V presents a stable and consistently clean maintenance trend, with its most recent MOT on 13 August 2025 at 172,325 miles passing with zero defects recorded. Across the entire available history, every single test from August 2020 through August 2025 has returned a pass with no advisories or failures, indicating that the vehicle has been kept in sound mechanical and structural order. The trend is unambiguously stable, with no evidence of recurring faults, escalating deterioration, or deferred repairs. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a vehicle of this age. Between 20 August 2020 at 106,634 miles and 13 August 2025 at 172,325 miles, the car covered approximately 65,691 miles over five years, averaging around 13,138 miles annually. The annual increments between tests range from roughly 11,563 miles to 18,322 miles, with the higher accumulation concentrated between 2024 and 2025. This suggests the vehicle saw increased use in its most recent period after several years of lighter annual mileage. There are no suspicious gaps in the test record, with annual MOTs completed each August consistently. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas that MOTs only sample at a single annual point. At 172,325 miles, suspension components including front and lower suspension bushes, drop links, and coil springs warrant close physical examination for perishing or play, even if no advisories have been flagged. The braking system, particularly rear calipers and handbrake cables on this generation CR-V, deserves attention given the known tendency for binding to develop between test intervals. Underbody and sill corrosion should be probed carefully, as structural rust can progress rapidly on older Honda platforms, especially around rear wheel arches and subframe mounting points. The exhaust system and its mountings should also be inspected for corrosion-related weakness, given the age and mileage. Tyre condition and date codes should be checked, as uneven wear patterns may indicate alignment or suspension geometry issues not captured by a stationary MOT inspection.
