2002 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · BC02 WFK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 8 February 2022 at 174,185 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance where the previous owner addressed potential issues before they triggered a test failure. However, because no MOT has been recorded for over four years since that last entry, the current mechanical state of the vehicle is unknown and requires immediate inspection to ensure road safety. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,258 miles per annum. Between April 2018 and February 2022, the car covered 35,312 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 8,800 miles annually during that period. The 10,968 miles between the 2021 and 2022 tests aligns with regular commuting rather than extreme wear. The lack of data following the February 2022 test is the primary concern as it fails to account for four years of degradation of rubber components or fluid integrity. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis for structural integrity, as these early-generation Honda CR-Vs are prone to corrosion corrosion. Check specifically for rust on the rear arches, subframe, and exhaust mounting. Given the age and mileage, the suspension bushes and coil springs likely likely perished regardless of the relatively low annual mileage. You should also verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers for binding and check the drivetrain for any signs of fluid leaks that may have developed during the long gap in recorded testing.
