2012 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · BK12 ABK

The latest MOT test conducted on 12 March 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Looking back through the records since 2022, the vehicle has maintained a remarkably stable maintenance trend, achieving five consecutive clean passes without a single advisory. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance and a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition well above the average for its age. With a recorded mileage of 117,552 miles over approximately 14 years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,397 miles per annum. This usage rate is considered typical for a family SUV of this vintage. Such a consistent pattern of use is generally preferable to low-mileage examples, as it ensures that seals remain lubricated and the engine operates at optimal temperatures, reducing the risk of stagnation-related failures in the fuel system or braking components. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer must perform physical inspections appropriate for a vehicle of this age. Particular attention should be paid to the tyre sidewalls to check for perishing or ozone cracking, as tyres can degrade over time even if the tread depth remains legal. The brake discs should be inspected for heavy surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, and the 12V battery health should be verified to ensure it can handle the load of the vehicle electrical systems. Finally, it is essential to verify the service history beyond the MOT records. Ensure that calendar-based fluid changes, including engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid, have been performed according to the manufacturer intervals to prevent internal corrosion and component wear. During a test drive, listen for any subtle knocks or clunks from the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these rubber components naturally degrade over 14 years regardless of the MOT outcome. Confirming the presence of consistent service book stamps will provide the necessary assurance regarding the long-term mechanical integrity of the drivetrain.
