2008 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · AF08 MHO

The Honda CR-V presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 16 December 2025 at 124,807 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The December 2025 test shows a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage with no defects logged, indicating a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle cleared the April 2023 test at 109,699 miles and the March 2024 test at 114,101 miles, with only a same-day fail and pass at 113,999 and 114,101 miles showing no recorded defects. No advisories or worn components appear anywhere in the chain. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,900 miles against an 18-year life and 124,807 total, which is typical for the age. The gap between the April 2023 test at 109,699 miles and the March 2024 pass at 114,101 miles covers only 4,402 miles, suggesting light use in that period. From March 2024 to December 2025 the car added 10,706 miles, a modest rise but still within expected range. The record is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or emissions issues ever flagged by a tester. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's 2008 build year and winter road-salt exposure over eighteen years. The absence of advisories does not exempt the CR-V from age-related degradation of coil springs, droplinks, or exhaust hangers that testers may have overlooked on a pass. Verify the brake calipers are free and the tyres carry legal tread, since the same-day fail-pass entries prevent confirmation of any rectification work carried out. Given the clean MOT chain and average mileage, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. The repeated zero-defect fails point to DVSA processing errors, not skipped maintenance. Treat the history as reassuring but not a substitute for a ramp-based survey before purchase.
