HONDA CR-V2007 · 2.2L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on its last recorded pass on 17 July 2024. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the MOT history reveals a pattern of failed attempts immediately preceding the passes. In July 2024, the car failed twice on 8 July and 10 July before passing on 17 July. A similar sequence occurred in June 2023, where the vehicle failed on 30 June before passing on 10 July. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,496 miles per year. Between 10 July 2023 and 17 July 2024, the odometer increased by 5,637 miles, moving from 98,784 to 104,421 miles. This confirms the car is in active use rather than sitting dormant, which reduces the risk of perished seals or seized calipers often found in low-mileage older cars. The MOT record is unusually clean, showing no specific defects or advisories across multiple years. While a lack of flagged issues suggests a well-maintained vehicle, the repeated failures without recorded defects are atypical and may indicate administrative errors or issues that were rectified instantly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester might overlook or that deteriorate regardless of mileage, specifically checking for chassis corrosion and suspension bush degradation. Given the age of the Honda CR-V, a manual check of the brake discs for pitting and the condition of the rubber components is advised. The absence of any recorded advisories regarding tyre tread or brake wear over the last two years suggests a diligent approach to consumables, but a professional inspection of the underbody for structural rust remains essential for a vehicle of this vintage.
