2017 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · AF17 LWC

A consistent record of clean MOT results over the last few years defines the roadworthiness profile of this Honda CR-V, following a single failure in September 2023. Since that failure, the vehicle has achieved two consecutive passes in 2024 and 2025 without any recorded defects or advisories. This trend suggests a period of stable mechanical compliance, with the most recent test on 08 September 2025 confirming the absence of any immediate structural or safety-critical issues. The vehicle's usage pattern is characterized by low annual mileage, averaging approximately 5,670 miles per year over its nine-year lifespan. With a recorded mileage of 51,030, the accumulation is significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. While this indicates less wear on high-friction components such as brake pads, discs, and tyres, low-mileage vehicles can sometimes experience different wear profiles, such as the hardening of rubber suspension bushes or seals due to less frequent thermal cycling and movement. Because the recent MOT history shows no recorded advisories for corrosion, fluid leaks, or suspension wear, there are no specific mechanical defects to target for investigation. However, given the low annual mileage, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the rubber components during a test drive. Listen for any dull knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate perished or stiffened suspension bushes or dampers, and check for any hesitation in steering response that might suggest dry or aged steering linkages. Further inspection should focus on the integrity of the braking system and any potential fluid seepage. Although no leaks were flagged in the 2025 test, the low usage rate warrants a visual check of the engine bay and underbody for any signs of oil misting or weeping from gaskets. On the road, ensure the brake pedal feels firm and consistent, with no noticeable pulsation or judder under moderate braking, to confirm that the discs and calipers have remained free from surface corrosion or uneven wear during periods of infrequent use.
