2014 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · CV14 AZD

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent MOT test on 22 January 2026 at 66,262 miles indicates a shift towards age-related wear. While the car passed, the tester flagged several items that suggest a transition from a period of clean records to one requiring more proactive attention. The presence of pitted rear brake discs, a worn offside front inner tyre, and a perishing nearside rear outer tyre suggests that consumable maintenance has recently lapsed. The mileage pattern reflects light annual usage, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year over its twelve-year lifespan. This low usage is evident from the progression from 25,901 miles in January 2017 to 66,262 miles in January 2026. Such low mileage often implies the vehicle has spent significant time stationary, which aligns with the recent findings of tyre perishing and brake disc pitting. The record shows a very clean period between 2019 and 2022, where no defects were recorded, suggesting a period of well-maintained or lightly used service. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The January 2026 test identified corrosion on the offside rear lower suspension arm, and the January 2023 test showed multiple deteriorated dust covers on anti-roll bar linkages, ball joints, and track rod ends. While these were likely addressed following the 2023 test, the recent mention of suspension arm corrosion suggests that structural oxidation is beginning to appear. The recent advisories regarding tyres and brake discs require immediate verification. The worn offside front inner tyre and the damaged nearside rear tyre indicate that the rubber is reaching the end of its serviceable life or is suffering from age-related degradation. A thorough check of the braking system is also necessary to ensure the pitted rear discs do not cause further issues with binding or reduced stopping efficiency.
