2007 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · DF07 KPT

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test in November 2025 at 84,866 miles passed without failures, though it introduced an advisory for perishing on all four tyres. This indicates that while the vehicle is mechanically sound enough to pass, the rubber components are reaching the end of their functional life due to age rather than mileage, which is consistent with the overall history. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 4,467 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the car covered only 3,855 miles, suggesting a pattern of long stationary periods or very short-distance use. This low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it often leads to age-related degradation such as the surface corrosion on brake discs and the perished tyre rubber noted in the record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system. The record shows a persistent issue with oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber since 2022, which evolved into a noted worn condition by 2023. The buyer must verify if this leak has developed into a significant failure. Additionally, the 2022 advisory regarding a perished track rod end gaiter should be checked to ensure the steering components remain secure, as this area was not explicitly cleared in later tests. Given the low mileage, the brake discs are prone to surface rust from sitting, as seen in the 2022 and 2023 advisories. The buyer should inspect these for deep pitting or uneven wear that could affect braking performance. Finally, the 2025 advisory for cracking tyres is an immediate priority for replacement, as aged-related tyres lose structural integrity regardless of the remaining tread depth.
