2014 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · AF64 FVP

The 2014 Honda CR-V presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 April 2025 at 169,948 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, with the three most recent passes showing clean sheets. However, the record includes two failed tests on the same dates as passes, both at 154,300 and 169,948 miles, where the DVSA log lists no defects. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical failure, but the buyer should verify the V5C and test certificates to confirm no suppressed faults. Mileage stands at 169,948 miles against a 12-year life, averaging 14,162 miles per year, which is high for a 2014 SUV. The odometer climbed from 133,107 miles at the May 2023 pass to 154,484 by the May 2024 pass, then to 169,948 by April 2025. That equates to roughly 21,000 miles in the first interval and 15,000 in the second, showing consistent heavy use rather than standing periods. The sparse history, with only three test years logged, gives limited visibility of consumable replacement cycles across the vehicle's life. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, the MOT data alone shows no escalating wear trend. The clean sheets at high mileage imply the previous keeper addressed items before test or the car wore within limits. Still, a buyer should physically inspect front lower arm bushes, rear trailing arm compliance, and brake caliper slide operation, as these commonly degrade on high-mileage CR-V platforms without triggering advisories. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity show no flags in the record. Given the two same-day fail-pass pairs with zero defects, I would commission an independent inspection to confirm the underside has no welded repairs or hidden rust, and to read live diagnostic codes. The high annual mileage warrants a timed belt and transmission fluid service check, neither of which the MOT assesses.
