2011 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · 1 RKJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT test in May 2026 at 140,539 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows only minor, isolated faults rather than recurring mechanical failures. While the 2026 test identified a faulty hazard warning switch, this is a minor electrical defect that does not indicate a broader decline in the vehicle's structural integrity or primary mechanical performance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,370 miles per year over the last four years. Between April 2022 and May 2026, the car covered 45,488 miles, representing a steady usage pattern. There are no significant gaps in the testing history to suggest long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The consistent annual testing indicates the previous owners have maintained a proactive approach to the vehicle's legal compliance at regular intervals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and rubber components. The 2022 failure for a severely deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover and the 2024 advisory regarding worn tyres and perished rubber suggest that rubber-heavy components are susceptible to age-related wear. You should inspect the lower control arms, bushings, and boots for signs of cracking or tearing beyond what the MOT tester flagged. Given the mileage and age, checking the brake discs for excessive corrosion and the exhaust for leaks is also advisable to ensure the clean results seen in 2025 remain representative of the current state.
