2011 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · BL11 EBZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend following a period of reactive repairs. The most recent MOT test in May 2026 at 91,337 miles passed with no recorded defects, marking a significant improvement over the multiple advisories from previous years. This suggests that the current owner has addressed the outstanding mechanical and suspension issues that were flagged during the earlier stages of the inspection. At 91,337 miles, this 15-year-old Honda CR-V has averaged approximately 6,100 miles per year, which is consistent with low-useage patterns. However, the mileage data reveals a recent surge in activity. The vehicle covered only 2,662 miles between December 2024 and December 2025, but then 220 miles in just the five weeks between April and May 2026. This shift in usage indicates the car is being driven more frequently recently, which explains the accelerated wear on rubber-based components and braking hardware. A buyer should perform a close inspection of the suspension geometry, as the record shows a recurring history of wear in anti-roll bar bushes and linkages. The 2024 and 2025 tests specifically highlighted deteriorated ball joint dust covers and track rod end damage. While these may have been replaced, the repeated nature of these faults suggests the rubber components are prone to premature degradation due to the vehicle's age. The braking system also requires verification. The December 2025 test flagged thin pads and pitted rear brake discs, which should have been replaced to ensure even wear and prevent binding. Additionally, the history of perishing and cracking tyres in 2023 and 2024 suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods. Check the sidewalls for dry-cracking to ensure the current tyres are not structurally compromised despite the low overall mileage.
