2007 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · DA56 SVD

The 2007 Honda CR-V passed its most recent MOT on 11 December 2025 at 161,482 miles with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the only blemishes in the record are two administrative fails on 9 December 2025 and 24 July 2024, both at near-identical mileages to the subsequent passes and both with no defects logged. These appear to be documentation or presentation failures rather than mechanical rejections. Mileage progression shows typical use for a 19-year-old vehicle. The record moves from 142,409 miles at the August 2023 test to 152,351 miles in July 2024, then to 161,480–161,482 miles by December 2025. That equates to roughly 8,500 miles per year, matching the expected average. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear between the three annual tests, and the clean advisories across all entries suggest consumables such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes were within tolerance at each assessment. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, given the vehicle's age and the absence of any advisory detail in the MOT history to confirm those areas were closely examined. The repeated nil-defect results offer no evidence of worsening mechanical risk, but the twin fails with no recorded defects imply the previous owner may have presented the car without correcting minor paperwork or identification issues rather than neglecting core upkeep. Given the sparse but clean record, focus any viewing on drivetrain condition, coil springs, and binding calipers that a no-advisory test might overlook on a high-mileage CR-V. The 19-year lifespan and 161,482 miles warrant scrutiny of rubber mounts and exhaust emissions components despite the absence of flagged faults.
