2015 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · AF65 GGU

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with a history characterized by minimal defects and a stable trend leading up to its pass on 8 December 2025. Aside from a single failure in November 2020 due to headlamp aim, the vehicle has maintained a nearly clean testing profile for six years, with only minor advisories appearing in the most recent cycles. The recorded mileage of 101,117 miles over an eleven year period represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 9,192 miles. This usage pattern is typical for the vehicle's age, implying a standard rate of wear on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. There are no significant gaps in the testing history to suggest prolonged periods of inactivity. Attention should be directed toward the offside front steering and suspension assembly. The December 2025 advisory regarding a damaged track rod end ball joint dust cover, combined with a December 2023 advisory for an inner edge bald tyre on the same corner, points to potential issues with wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. While the dust cover is currently preventing dirt ingress, any compromise to the joint can lead to premature failure. During a test drive, the driver should monitor for any steering pull or drift, which would correlate with the previous inner edge tyre wear. Listen for knocking or clicking sounds from the front offside when navigating bumps or during low-speed steering maneuvers. A physical inspection of the current tyre tread depth and alignment is recommended to ensure the previous wear issue has been rectified.
