2008 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · AC58 FNL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The most recent test in October 2024 at 162,640 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite a failure entry on the same day which listed no faults. This anomaly suggests an administrative error or a minor technicality that was rectified immediately before the retest. The lack of advisories across the last four successful tests indicates that the previous owners have maintained a high standard of mechanical and structural upkeep. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between September 2021 and October 2024, the vehicle covered 33,050 miles, showing a steady usage rate that avoids the risks associated with long periods of stagnation. The jump of 12,470 miles between the October 2023 and October 2024 tests reflects this typical pattern of annual accumulation, which generally benefits the vehicle by ensuring seals, gaskets, and suspension components remain lubricated and free through use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points specific to this generation of CR-V. While the MOT record is clean, the high mileage warrants a close look at the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or cracking. Inspect the underside particularly the chassis rails and mounting points for deep surface corrosion, as the MOT only flags structural rust once it becomes significant. Given the clean history, checking the brake lines for fluid leaks and the calipers for binding will confirm the integrity suggested by the official records.
