2013 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · CU13 BYB

The 2013 Honda CR-V presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 11 July 2025 at 154,648 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards across brakes, suspension, emissions, and structural integrity at that time. While a failed test appears in the record on 21 November 2022 at 134,224 miles, the absence of recorded defects suggests an administrative or procedural failure rather than a mechanical breakdown, and the subsequent clean passes confirm the issue was resolved immediately. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 11,900 miles annually. The annual distance covered was notably higher between November 2021 and November 2022, with the odometer climbing 17,444 miles from 116,780 to 134,224. Usage moderated slightly in the following year, adding 13,269 miles by November 2023, before dropping significantly to just 7,155 miles over the subsequent eighteen months leading to the July 2025 test. This recent reduction in mileage could indicate lighter use or periods of the vehicle standing idle. Despite the absence of recurring mechanical advisories, the recent drop in annual mileage warrants a physical inspection for issues associated with prolonged inactivity. A buyer should check the condition of the tyres for flat-spotting or perishing, and assess the brake discs for surface corrosion that can develop when a vehicle sits stationary. The underbody and suspension mounting points require scrutiny for corrosion, a common concern for SUVs of this era. Given the clean MOT history, no specific mechanical faults demand immediate attention, but verifying the condition of consumables like wiper blades and the exhaust system remains prudent before purchase.
