1998 HONDA CR-V2.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a significant roadworthiness risk due to a complete absence of testing data for over twelve years. The last recorded test in August 2014 at 106,350 miles indicated a pass following repairs to an insecure offside front CV joint and worn rear differential support bushes. Because no MOT has been performed since 2014, the current mechanical and structural integrity of the Honda is unknown. The maintenance trend has effectively stalled, meaning the vehicle has likely operated without professional oversight for over a decade. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 28-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. However, the data shows a concerning anomaly between 2012 and 2014, where the mileage fluctuated minimally between 106,280 and 106,530 miles. This suggests the vehicle sat stationary for long periods or saw minimal use, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, seized calipers, and fluid-related issues regardless of the low total mileage recorded on the odometer. A buyer must prioritize a thorough structural inspection focusing on the rear sections, as the June 2012 test already flagged slight corrosion on the vehicle structure. Given the age and likely inactivity, this rust has likely progressed into structural thinning. The suspension also requires close scrutiny, specifically the radius arms and bushes which showed recurring signs of wear in the 2014 tests. Furthermore, the CV joints and brake components should be checked for perished seals and seizing, as these are prone to failure after long periods of standing.
