2012 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · PY12 ABX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful pass on 17 July 2025 at 195,289 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of instability during the last twelve months, as the car failed two consecutive tests in May and July of 2025 before finally achieving compliance. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the previous failures within that short two-month window suggest that specific mechanical or safety-related issues were only addressed reactively prior to the final inspection date. The mileage profile indicates heavy usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per annum. Between June 2023 and May 2024, the car covered 9,923 miles, but the rate of accumulation accelerated significantly between the May 2024 and July 2025 tests, where it clocked an additional 4,314 miles in just 14 months. This high-mileage pattern places considerable stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems, which typically experience accelerated wear under these operating conditions. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and steering geometry, given the high mileage and the recent history of failures requiring immediate attention. Focus on signs of play in the control arms, shock absorbers, and bushes, as these often fail on high-mileage SUVs. Because the record does not detail the specific reasons for the 2025 failures, a close check of brake caliper binding and exhaust system corrosion is essential to ensure the underlying repairs were thorough rather than superficial.
