1998 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · S7 CRV

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 26 November 2025 at 74,746 miles with no recorded defects, indicating a stable and positive maintenance trend. The absence of advisories in the two most recent annual inspections suggests that the current owner has addressed previous mechanical shortcomings effectively. This clean bill of health provides a reliable baseline for the vehicle's present roadworthiness. With an average annual usage of approximately 2,670 miles over its twenty-eight-year lifespan, the vehicle shows evidence of light, intermittent use. The mileage progression is consistent and lacks evidence of long-term storage or excessive wear patterns. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 6,300 miles, confirming that the mechanical components are being exercised regularly rather than left to seize through prolonged inactivity. The recurring coolant leaks flagged during the November 2022 and November 2023 tests represent the primary area of historical concern. While the most recent tests show these issues have been resolved, a prospective buyer should inspect the radiator, hoses, and water pump for any signs of weeping or recent repair work. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for signs of corrosion on the chassis and subframe remains essential, as structural integrity is often the limiting factor for older models of this type. Confirm that the cooling system maintains pressure and temperature during a sustained test drive to ensure the previous faults have not caused underlying damage to the engine block or head gasket.
