2004 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · DA04 UPR

The 2004 Honda CR-V currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following its most recent test on 28 September 2021, where it passed at 135,614 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the record is sparse and ends nearly five years before today's date of 8 July 2026, leaving the present condition unverified by MOT data. The odometer shows 135,614 miles against 22 years of age, equating to roughly 6,164 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this vintage. A striking anomaly appears in the September 2021 entries: the car recorded 135,613 miles on 16 September when it failed, then 135,614 miles on 28 September when it passed. The one-mile increment across a fail-and-pass cycle within twelve days suggests the initial failure carried no logged defects, and the owner corrected a documentation or administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. No earlier history is supplied, so long-term wear patterns cannot be assessed. Given the clean test result and absence of advisories on the final pass, no recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion faults are flagged in the official record. The buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, subframe corrosion, and suspension bushes, as a 22-year-old CR-V at this mileage will likely show age-related degradation not captured by a defect-free MOT. The expired MOT coverage since September 2021 means the vehicle may have been idle or used without testing for close to five years. Standing periods risk seized calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and deteriorated rubber components. Verify the actual mechanical state before purchase rather than relying on the stale pass certificate.
