2011 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · BD02 AAA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding suspension components. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 115,438 miles passed, it followed an immediate failure due to multiple anti-roll bar linkage ball joint faults and a worn tyre. The persistence of play in the anti-roll bar linkages across both the 2025 and 2026 testing cycles indicates that these suspension parts are reaching the end of their functional life and have not been proactively replaced. At 115,438 miles over 15 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for an SUV of this age. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 5,400 miles covered between April 2024 and March 2025, and another 5,250 miles between March 2025 and April 2026. This steady mileage suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which explains the gradual wear seen on rubber bushes and mechanical components. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension assembly, as the recurring play in the anti-roll bar linkages suggests further degradation is imminent if not addressed. The failure of the offside front tyre for being worn on the edge also implies a potential alignment issue or uneven camber that should be verified to prevent premature tyre wear. Given the previous failures of the headlamp levelling device and position lamp circuitry, the electrical systems and lighting housings should also be checked to ensure no further wiring faults have developed since the last pass.
