2008 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · DG58 FPD

The 2025 MOT (29 August 2025) was passed at 132,747 mi, but the examiner flagged front‑tyre wear on the inner edges of both the off‑side and near‑side wheels. No other faults were recorded. A similar tyre‑wear warning appeared in the 2021 MOT, where front and rear tyres were close to the legal limit. The intervening 2022 and 2023 tests were clean, suggesting the issue can be intermittent but re‑emerges if the underlying cause isn’t corrected. The pattern points to possible alignment or suspension wear rather than a sudden failure. At 132,747 mi for an 18‑year‑old CR‑V the average mileage is about 7,400 mi per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The mileage figure alone does not indicate excessive hard use, but it also does not rule out periods of low use that could have allowed wear to concentrate on the front tyres. For a buyer, the first things to inspect are: Front tyre tread depth and uniformity – check for inner‑edge wear and confirm the tyres are still within legal limits. Wheel alignment and suspension components – look for uneven wear, loose bushings or worn ball joints that could cause the tyre pattern. Brakes and steering feel – ensure there is no pulling or vibration that might indicate the same underlying issue.
