2007 HONDA CR-V2.2L Diesel

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, having failed its most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 126,865 miles. The maintenance trend appears inconsistent. While the car passed tests in December 2022 and December 2023, the pattern of failures in September 2024 and September 2025 suggests a decline in reliability or a failure to address pre-test maintenance. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,677 miles per year. Use has remained steady over the last four years, increasing from 108,155 miles in December 2022 to 126,865 miles by September 2025. There are no signs of excessive mileage accumulation or prolonged periods of standing that would typically indicate engine seal degradation or seized calipers. The MOT record is unusually clean regarding specific defect descriptions, as no technical faults were listed during the passes or failures. This lack of detail is atypical for a nineteen year old vehicle and may mask underlying issues. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension mounting points for corrosion, as structural rust is common in this model and often overlooked if not explicitly flagged. Priority should be given to checking the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as the state of the suspension bushes and coil springs. Given the recent failures without recorded defects, the buyer should verify if the vehicle failed on emissions or lighting, as these are common culprits for quick failures. A full service history check is necessary to confirm if the mechanical upkeep matches the clean MOT data.
