2008 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · DE08 HXC

The 2008 Honda CR-V shows a passed MOT on 6 June 2023 at 211,681 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper at the last test. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record carries two same-day fail/pass pairs that raise minor administrative questions rather than mechanical ones. The most recent failure on 6 June 2023 at 211,681 miles listed no defects, suggesting a documentation or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a fault with the vehicle itself. Mileage sat at 167,874 miles in the 1 June 2021 test, then rose to 194,999 miles by the 3 May 2022 failure and 195,009 miles on the same-day pass, before reaching 211,681 miles by June 2023. That equates to roughly 11,760 miles per year across its life, typical for an eighteen-year-old vehicle. The gap between June 2021 and May 2022 covers about 27,000 miles, a slightly heavier than average annual stretch, while the 2022 to 2023 span dropped to under 17,000 miles. The history is sparse and clean, with no advisories logged on any test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high 211,681-mile total and the absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise flag wear. The same-day fail/pass entries on 3 May 2022 and 6 June 2023 with zero defects imply the previous owner cleared any presentation fault quickly, but offer no insight into underlying corrosion or exhaust emissions condition. Given the age and mileage, check structural integrity at sills, subframes, and rear chassis for rust, and verify the binding calipers or handbrake mechanism were not the silent cause of the no-defect failures. The record implies basic annual upkeep was maintained, yet the lack of advisories across 43,000 miles of recent use warrants hands-on verification before purchase.
