2015 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · CK15 DWA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to wear and tear. The most recent test in August 2025 at 102,193 miles passed with an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn near the legal limit. While the car has passed its consecutive tests, the record shows a recurring trend of allowing consumable components like brakes and suspension parts to be addressed only once they reach a failure point or significant wear threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between April 2022 at 62,383 miles and August 2023 at 82,169 miles, during which the vehicle covered nearly 20,000 miles in just sixteen months. Since then, usage has stabilized at roughly 10,000 miles per annum. This steady rate of use explains the gradual degradation observed in the braking system and rubber components noted throughout the history. A buyer must pay close attention to the front braking system and suspension geometry. The history shows persistent issues with imbalanced brakes and fluctuating discs in 2020, followed by a failure for a thin nearside front pad in 2023. Furthermore, the track rod end dust covers were flagged as deteriorated in both 2023 and 2024, indicating the rubber seals are reaching the end of their life and may require imminent replacement to prevent premature wear of the steering ball joints. The light misting on the offside rear shock absorber noted in 2024 should also be monitored for active leaks. Physical inspection should also focus on the nearside front wing, which appears in records from 2022 through 2023 with body damage. Ensure this damage is cosmetic and has not caused underlying structural corrosion or misalignment of the mounting points. Given the history of neglected brake pads and worn tyres, a thorough check of the current pad depth and tyre condition is necessary to ensure the current owner has not continued the trend of deferred maintenance.
