2008 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · AV08 YWN

The 2008 Honda CR-V presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 21 November 2025 at 112,256 miles, passed with zero defects. This outcome is consistent with the five preceding annual tests, all of which also recorded no failures or advisories. The maintenance trend is demonstrably stable, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in sound mechanical order without recurring faults. The mileage accumulation is measured and typical for an eighteen-year-old vehicle. Between the September 2021 test at 86,590 miles and the November 2025 test at 112,256 miles, the vehicle covered 25,666 miles over roughly four years, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. This aligns closely with the overall lifetime average of 6,236 miles per year. There are no anomalous gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would suggest long periods of disuse or unusually high annual mileage. The record is clean and continuous. Despite the unblemished MOT history, a prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection. A vehicle of this age and mileage, even with consistent test passes, will have experienced natural wear on consumable and structural components. Pay close attention to the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these degrade over time regardless of mileage. Inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly around the subframes, sills, and brake lines, as structural rust is a common age-related failure point on SUVs of this generation. The braking system and tyres deserve particular scrutiny. While no binding calipers or worn brake discs were flagged in the records, the rear brakes on the CR-V are known to seize if not regularly serviced. Check the tyre sidewalls for perishing and the tread depth across all four corners, as uneven wear can indicate alignment or suspension geometry issues not always visible in a static MOT check. The clean record suggests diligent upkeep, but a test drive and a pre-purchase inspection remain essential to verify the vehicle's current condition.
