2013 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · AY13 VTG

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows a pattern of worsening mechanical issues despite the most recent pass in March 2026. While the March 7, 2026 test resulted in a pass with no defects, this followed a failed test just two days earlier on March 5, 2026. That failure included a dangerous defect regarding front brake pads measuring less than 1.5mm, a major defect for a nearside front shock absorber fluid leak, and a major defect for an excessively worn nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. The recorded mileage of 124,037 miles reflects an average of approximately 9,500 miles per year over the thirteen-year lifespan of the vehicle. The MOT data shows a significant gap between the October 2023 test and the January 2025 test. During the January 30, 2025 test, the vehicle failed on multiple consumable items, including front and rear brake pads worn to the wear indicators, significantly worn front brake discs, and a nearside front tyre with tread depth below the 1.6mm legal limit. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and front suspension components. The record indicates recurring issues with brake pad and disc wear, specifically noted in both the January 2025 and March 2026 tests. The tester also flagged shock absorber leaks and worn anti-roll bar linkages in the most recent failure. These findings suggest that while the vehicle is currently passing, the suspension and braking components have required recent intervention to meet roadworthiness standards.
