2022 Honda CR-V 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · AV72 KLD

The 2022 Honda CR-V presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT test on 27 November 2025 at 39,737 miles passing without any defects. This indicates that, at this point in its service history, the vehicle met all DVSA requirements for safety, emissions, and structural integrity. The absence of advisories or minor faults in the latest test suggests that either the previous owner maintained the car diligently or the tester did not identify any immediate concerns during the inspection. However, the limited scope of the MOT means that non-visible components—such as internal suspension joints, brake fluid condition, or engine management systems—remain unassessed. A buyer should treat this as a baseline rather than comprehensive assurance, particularly given the vehicle’s age and the fact that the MOT is now over eight months old —a period during which wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and wiper blades could have progressed. The recorded mileage of 39,737 miles over roughly 45 months (since late 2022) suggests average annual usage of around 9,934 miles , which aligns with typical expectations for a four-year-old vehicle. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern—no sudden spikes that might indicate neglect or abuse, nor any prolonged periods of inactivity that could lead to seized components or degraded fluids. The lack of historical MOT data before November 2025 means there’s no way to confirm whether this mileage trend has been consistent or if earlier years saw heavier usage. Without prior tests, it’s impossible to rule out deferred maintenance, but the current mileage and the clean MOT result do not immediately suggest excessive wear. That said, the buyer should verify if the mileage reading is accurate, as tampering is not uncommon in used vehicles. Given the sparse MOT history, a thorough pre-purchase inspection should prioritise suspension and steering components , particularly the front and rear coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings , as these are prone to wear even without visible damage. The brake system —including disc thickness, caliper operation, and brake fluid condition —should be checked, as binding or uneven wear could have developed since the last test. Exhaust emissions were compliant in November 2025, but a visual and functional check of the exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, and DPF (if fitted) is advisable, especially if the car has been driven predominantly in urban or short-trip conditions. Tyres should be measured for tread depth and sidewall integrity, even though the MOT passed, as tread wear can accelerate unpredictably. Finally, structural corrosion —particularly around wheel arches, sills, and underbody panels—should be inspected, as Honda CR-Vs of this age can develop surface rust in damp UK climates. While the MOT history is reassuring, these areas are best assessed in person before purchase.
