2010 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · CT60 AVG

The 2010 Honda CR-V presents a mechanically sound maintenance trend based on the DVSA record, though its current roadworthiness status requires immediate attention due to an expired MOT certificate. The most recent test on 23 April 2024 at 144,989 miles passed with zero defects recorded. Looking back, the vehicle has consistently passed its annual assessments without any flagged mechanical or structural issues, indicating a stable and resolving trend of reliability. The previous failures on 22 April 2024 and 11 April 2023 show no recorded defects, suggesting administrative or minor rectification issues rather than serious mechanical faults. A buyer must note that the current MOT lapsed in April 2025, meaning the car has been untested for over two years as of July 2026. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Between the April 2022 test at 129,874 miles and the April 2023 test at 138,521 miles, the CR-V covered 8,647 miles. The following year, up to the April 2024 test at 144,989 miles, it traveled 6,468 miles, demonstrating a slight reduction in annual usage but remaining consistent with the roughly 9,000 miles per year average. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded data, and the 124-mile difference between the April 2024 fail and pass readings simply reflects the retest drive. The data is remarkably clean, showing steady, predictable wear rather than prolonged standing or excessive strain. Despite the pristine MOT record, the absence of a valid certificate since April 2025 demands a rigorous physical inspection. A buyer should thoroughly examine the structural integrity of the undercarriage and suspension mounts, as 145,000 miles will naturally test the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. Brake discs and pads must be measured for wear, and calipers checked for any sign of binding, given the mileage. Exhaust emissions and the condition of the catalytic converter require verification, as high-mileage Honda engines of this era can suffer from oil consumption or sensor degradation. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition warrant close scrutiny, especially if the vehicle has stood idle during the two-year MOT lapse, which can cause flat spots or perishing.
