2007 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · DA56 KLK

The 2007 Honda CR-V presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 July 2025 at 158,491 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from July 2022 to July 2024 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 19 July 2022 at 135,046 miles that the DVLA record lists with no defects recorded, immediately followed the same day by a pass at the same mileage, suggesting an administrative or process anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages around 8,342 across the vehicle's nineteen years, which is typical for a car of this age. The records show steady accumulation: 135,046 miles in July 2022, 142,242 in July 2023, 149,510 in July 2024, and 158,491 in July 2025, a consistent roughly 8,000 to 9,000 miles per year with no gaps or sudden spikes. The clean pass history across four consecutive years indicates the previous owner kept on top of consumables and avoided letting advisories lapse into failures. Given the sparse record and absence of any flagged advisories, a buyer should still verify in person the usual high-mileage wear points on a CR-V of this era. Inspect front suspension lower arms and bushes for play, check rear trailing arm corrosion and subframe integrity, and examine brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear that a clean MOT may not capture if within limits. At 158,491 miles the drivetrain and clutch should be road-tested for slack or judder, and the exhaust system checked for internal rot not visible from above. The clean history is reassuring, but nineteen years of use demands a hands-on check of structural and mechanical items before purchase.
