Our Verdict
This 2018 Honda CR-V presents a consiste
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the items flagged in the most recent MOT. Specifically, check the condition of the front brake pads, as they were noted as wearing thin in March 2026. You should also verify the status of the tyre pressure monitoring system, which triggered a warning light during the last test; ensure this has been rectified and that the system is functioning correctly.
Given the 1.6-litre diesel engine, confirm that the vehicle has been subjected to regular oil changes, as diesel particulate filters (DPF) on these models can be sensitive to short, urban journeys. Negotiate the price based on the need for imminent brake work and ensure any remaining tyre tread depth meets your expectations for safe driving.
The 1.6-litre diesel engine is generally efficient for a vehicle of this size, offering competitive fuel economy for long-distance commuting. However, be mindful of potential VED (Road Tax) costs associated with a 2018 diesel model, which may be higher than petrol equivalents depending on the specific CO2 emissions bracket.
Maintenance costs for this generation of CR-V are typically moderate, though parts like brake pads and tyres are wear-and-tear items that will require periodic replacement. You should budget for an annual service and potential repairs, with an estimated total annual running cost of £1,200–£1,400 depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Begin your physical inspection by checking the tyre condition, as the 2025 MOT noted uneven wear on the nearside front tyre. Uneven wear can sometimes indicate issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry, so check that the car drives straight and does not pull to one side.
Inspect the front brake discs and pads visually through the alloy wheels to gauge how much life remains. Since the tyre pressure light was flagged in 2026, ensure that the dashboard is clear of warning lights during your test drive and that the tyre pressures are set to the manufacturer's recommended levels.
Registered in March 2018, this grey diesel CR-V has covered 86,014 miles over its eight-year life. The MOT history shows a clean record of passes, with only minor advisory items noted in the most recent tests. The vehicle's performance in testing suggests it has been kept in a roadworthy state throughout its ownership.
The Honda CR-V generally maintains a strong reputation for reliability, consistently performing well above the average MOT pass rate of 82.5% for all vehicles.
