2007 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · C7 PGN

The 2007 Honda CR-V shows a history of recurring mechanical wear and progressive corrosion typical of its age. In the most recent test on 1 April 2026 at 130,827 miles, the vehicle passed after failing just one month prior. The tester identified thin front brake pads and an inoperative rear registration plate lamp, which were noted in the previous failure. While the vehicle passed, the record reveals ongoing issues with the rear suspension. Both nearside and offside rear upper suspension arm pins and bushes are worn, although these do not yet result in excessive movement, they indicate components are reaching the end of their service life. With 130,827 miles recorded over 19 years, the vehicle averages a low mileage of approximately 6,886 miles per year. This suggests light but consistent use rather than long periods of storage. Between the April 2025 and 2026 tests, the car covered over 6,000 miles, a period during which the tester found the front lower suspension ball joints had become excessively worn in March 2026. These ball joints were seemingly replaced or repaired before the April pass, as they were not flagged in the subsequent inspection. Structural integrity is a primary concern for this example. Every test since 2025 has flagged corrosion on the vehicle structure, though reports consistently state that structural rigidity is not yet significantly reduced. Specific corrosion is noted on the offside rear suspension arm and various rear mounting areas. Additionally, the offside rear shock absorber shows external casing damage and corrosion, a condition that has persisted since at least 2025. A buyer should inspect the under sills and mounting points closely to ensure the surface rust has not progressed into deep perforation.
