Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2002 Honda CR-V presents a stable roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 4 March 2026 at 159,303 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is steady, showing no worsening mechanical faults across the three years of available records. A prior failure on the same date with no defects logged suggests an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical defect, repeated identically on 11 March 2025 at 151,296 miles before that test also passed clean. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 24-year-old vehicle. The odometer rose from 143,896 miles at the 13 March 2024 test to 151,296 miles by March 2025, then to 159,303 miles by March 2026. That equates to roughly 7,700 miles per year over the recorded period, marginally above the 6,638-mile annual average implied by the total. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the data; the sparse but clean record shows no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. Given the absence of recorded defects or advisories, the MOT history implies the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance, though the twin fail-pass entries on both 2025 and 2026 dates warrant confirmation that no genuine fault was masked by retest procedure. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity beneath sills and subframes for rust, given the vehicle's age and UK winter road salt exposure not captured by a pass result. In person, verify the condition of consumable items such as tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and suspension component play that a no-defect test may not flag in detail. The clean record offers reasonable assurance, but physical inspection of coil springs and binding calipers remains prudent on a high-mileage 2002 chassis.
