2007 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · DE57 BAV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on February 5 2025 at 142,705 miles where no defects were recorded. This success followed a failure just two days prior at 142,700 miles which also listed no defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or a minor technicality. The overall history indicates that the car is currently being maintained to a standard passing standard without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern reflects very low usage for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The data shows a significant period of inactivity between November 2022 at 141,468 miles and October 2023 at 142,368 miles, where the car covered only 900 miles in nearly eleven months. This suggests long periods of standing, which on high-mileage vehicles often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake caliper corrosion despite the lack of mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension system. Given the vehicle's age and the history of standing, there is a risk of surface corrosion on exhaust mounting points and suspension arms. The tester should verify the brake system for seized calipers or binding, as low-frequency use frequently results in locked pistons and rusted discs. While the MOT record is clean, the lack of recorded advisories means a thorough check of tyre age and bushing condition is necessary to ensure no hidden wear has occurred between tests.
