2006 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · RK55 AAZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass on 15 May 2025 at 189,563 miles. The absence of recorded defects across the last three consecutive annual inspections suggests a disciplined approach to maintenance by the current owner. While the 2 May 2023 record shows a failed test followed by an immediate pass on the same day, the lack of logged defects indicates this was likely a minor administrative or equipment-related error rather than a significant mechanical failure. The recorded mileage of 189,563 over two decades aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class, averaging approximately 9,478 miles per year. The consistent testing frequency indicates the car has remained in regular operation without extended periods of inactivity that often lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The steady accumulation of miles suggests the drivetrain has been kept in a functional state, avoiding the risks associated with long-term storage or extreme high-mileage cycles. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes, as Honda CR-Vs of this generation frequently develop corrosion in the rear wheel arches and suspension mounting points. Even with clean MOT history, surface rust can progress rapidly on older steel components. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear items that may have been overlooked if the vehicle has seen heavy use. Verify the operation of the four-wheel-drive system and listen for any drivetrain whine during a test drive, as these components reach their service limits at this mileage bracket.
