2012 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · CU12 AAY

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a string of clean passes following an initial failure. The most recent test on 30 July 2025 at 140,452 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle is currently maintained to a high operational standard. Since the failure recorded in July 2022, the car has undergone three consecutive inspections without a single advisory or failure point being raised. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between July 2022 and July 2023, the car covered 9,030 miles, followed by 2,583 miles in the following year and 3,599 miles leading up to the 2024 test. This fluctuation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation which prevents brake-related corrosion or high-intensity usage that strains the drivetrain and suspension components prematurely. While the recent MOT history is clean, a buyer must still perform a physical inspection of common wear points for a CR-V of this age. At 140,000 miles, the suspension bushings and coil springs often show signs of fatigue that a standard MOT might not catch until they become hazardous. Check for structural integrity on the rear sills and subframe, as the MOT test only flags rust once it reaches structural proportions. The brake system for binding calipers or uneven pad wear warrants close attention to ensure the lack of recorded advisories reflects actual mechanical health.
