2013 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · DA63 VLJ

The 2013 Honda CR-V presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 September 2025 at 66,715 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across five consecutive annual examinations. The mileage pattern shows consistently low annual use for a vehicle of this age. From the 31 August 2021 test at 45,561 miles, the car covered just 21,154 miles over the following four years, averaging roughly 5,288 miles per year. The largest single-year movement was 5,736 miles between September 2023 (55,321 miles) and September 2024 (62,089 miles). No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the record, and the absence of any advisories across all five tests indicates the prior keeper kept the service intervals and basic upkeep disciplined. A clean MOT sheet with zero advisories does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. At thirteen years old and 66,715 miles, the CR-V should still be checked for age-related corrosion on subframes and sills, degraded suspension bushes, and fatigued coil springs that a visual MOT check may not flag until failure. Brake disc wear and caliper operation warrant a road test given the light usage, as standing periods can encourage seizing. The low mileage and fault-free history suggest careful ownership rather than deferred neglect. A pre-purchase inspection should nonetheless confirm cambelt and fluid intervals, since low annual cover can mask stale engine oil and brake fluid. The documented record supports a sound purchase subject to those routine verification checks.
