1999 HONDA CR-V2.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile due to a complete lack of MOT data for over thirteen years. The most recent recorded test in May 2013 at 180,821 miles showed a pass with only minor windscreen damage. Because there are no entries following 2013, the current mechanical integrity and safety status of the vehicle cannot be verified. The historical trend prior to the gap suggests a reactive maintenance style where faults were addressed only upon inspection failure rather than through preventative servicing. At a recorded mileage of 180,821 miles over 27 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,700 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for an older car. Between May 2011 and May 2013, the car covered 19,618 miles, indicating regular use during that period. However, the thirteen-year gap in the testing record is a critical red flag, suggesting the vehicle has either sat stationary for long periods or operated without legal oversight, which often leads to rubber perish and fluid degradation regardless of the low mileage. A buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the suspension components, as the history shows recurring issues with coil springs and anti-roll bar linkages. The 2012 failure specifically highlighted corroded and worn front coil springs alongside excessive play in the upper suspension arm, which are common points of failure on this model. Given the age of the vehicle, the chassis and structural integrity must be examined for deep corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and mounting points for the suspension. The brakes and tyres should also be checked for seized calipers or perished rubber, as no data exists to confirm their condition for over a decade.
