2013 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · AX62 CZS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in March 2026, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs and recurring mechanical wear. While the car passed its most recent test at 119,518 miles, it failed just one day prior due to multiple defects including lighting, suspension, and brake components. The persistence of advisories such as oil leaks and sub-frame corrosion across multiple years suggests that the owner addresses faults only when they reach a failure threshold rather than following a proactive maintenance schedule. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. Between April 2024 at 95,316 miles and March 2025 at 107,819 miles, the car covered over 12,000 miles, followed by another 11,700 miles leading up to the March 2026 test. This steady usage explains the accelerated wear on consumable items like the front brake pads and suspension arm components noted throughout the record. A buyer must focus on the structural integrity of the rear sub-frame, which was flagged as corroded in 2026. Although not yet deemed seriously weakened, surface rust on load-bearing components in this Honda often progresses rapidly if left untreated. The record also shows a history of failing suspension parts, specifically the track rod ends and anti-roll bar linkages requiring replacement. The physical inspection should verify if the corrosion on the rear coil springs and the rear exhaust mountings has advanced to the point of structural failure. The engine exhibits a persistent oil leak that has been noted since at least 2025. While testers classified this as not excessive, the recurring nature of the fault indicates a seal or gasket failure that requires monitoring. Additionally, the brake discs were noted as worn thin in the March 2026 test, suggesting they are nearing the end of their functional life. The buyer should check for uneven wear on the discs and ensure the rear exhaust mounting is properly secured to prevent vibration or premature failure.
