2018 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · DA67 ACJ

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently questionable following a failed MOT test on 10 April 2026 at 82,055 miles. While the vehicle maintained a clean record for four consecutive years, the most recent failure without recorded defects suggests a specific mechanical or presentation issue that prevented a pass despite a previously flawless history. The maintenance trend has shifted from a stable, clean history to a state of failure requiring immediate attention before the car can be considered fully roadworthy. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical UK usage for its age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 26,073 miles and April 2026 at 82,055 miles, the vehicle covered 55,982 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The jump of 9,131 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates a slight increase in usage compared to earlier years, but the overall accumulation is within expected parameters for a family SUV. The data history suggests consistent operation leading up to the recent failure. A buyer must verify the specific reason for the April 2026 failure, as the record does not list defects to explain the rejection. Given the previous clean records, the inspection should focus on components that may have suddenly failed or reached their end-of-life simultaneously, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake components. Because the vehicle is now eight years old, a physical check for structural corrosion on the chassis and the condition of the exhaust system is prudent to ensure the recent failure was not indicative of a developing rust issue that was previously undetected.
