2002 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · DA02 AWV

The 2002 Honda CR-V presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 7 March 2024 at 162,946 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable, with the vehicle clearing every pass test and showing no advisories or escalating faults. The only blemishes are two same-day failures logged on 8 March 2022 and 9 March 2023 at 150,672 and 157,205 miles respectively, both marked with no defects recorded, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical failure. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,789 miles per year against the 162,946 miles recorded. The gaps between tests show steady accumulation: 6,533 miles from March 2022 to March 2023, then 5,741 miles to March 2024. No rapid build-up or long dormant periods are evident from the figures. The DVSA data itself is sparse and clean beyond the anomalous fail entries, offering little insight into consumable wear or hidden corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record omits any advisory on chassis or sills that commonly affect a CR-V of this age. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for fatigue not captured by a pass result. The twin failure logs with zero defects suggest the previous owner may have mishandled test bookings, but they do not imply skipped mechanical upkeep. Given the absent advisories across four pass outcomes, the vehicle likely received basic statutory care rather than proactive refurbishment. Verify the exhaust emissions and binding calipers during a road test, and confirm the true cause of the 2022 and 2023 failures with the issuing test centre before purchase.
