2012 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · YE62 ACV

The 2012 Honda CR-V stands roadworthy following the 18 October 2025 test at 60,895 miles, where the tester passed it after an earlier same-day fail that carried no defect entries. This pattern repeats the 3 October 2023 event at 54,084 miles and signals a stable, defect-free trend rather than worsening faults. The simultaneous fail-pass with zero advisories points to administrative rejection, not skipped maintenance, as the subsequent passes confirm compliance. In the October 2024 test at 58,168 miles the vehicle passed clean with no defects logged. Mileage remains low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. From 3 October 2023 at 54,084 miles to 18 October 2024 at 58,168 miles the odometer advanced 4,084 miles, then to 18 October 2025 at 60,895 miles it gained 2,727 miles. That equates to roughly 3,400 to 4,100 miles per annum in the recorded window, well below typical use. The history supplied covers only three consecutive autumn tests, so earlier wear patterns are undocumented. Such light recent use suggests gentle motoring yet also raises the chance of prolonged standing that can degrade seals and tyres. With no recorded advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs or structural integrity, a buyer must still scrutinise those areas physically. A fourteen-year-old CR-V often develops latent corrosion on sills and subframes even when MOT tests log clean. Check brake calipers for binding and inspect exhaust emissions hardware for age cracks. The low annual mileage suggests gentle use but extended idle periods can harden tyres and degrade fluid seals, so assess rubber components closely.
