2006 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · DN06 XOG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test in September 2023 at 140,685 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just three days prior. This suggests that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying immediate issues to ensure a legal pass. Given that the last test was conducted nearly three years ago, the vehicle is currently overdue for its annual inspection, which necessitates an immediate mechanical check to identify any degradation since that interval. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twenty-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2022, the car covered 4,969 miles, followed by another 5,522 miles in the year leading up to the 2023 test. This low-mileage-to-age usage suggests light annual commuting, which typically reduces the wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to high-mile vehicles. The lack of large gaps in mileage indicates that the car has been operated under predictable conditions rather than sitting stationary for long periods which helps prevent brake caliper seizing and fluid degradation. While the record shows no recurring mechanical failures, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common age-related wear points for this model. Pay close attention to the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches for hidden corrosion, as these areas often degrade without triggering failures until they become significant. Given the three-year gap since the last MOT, inspect the condition of rubber components for cracking and check the state of the brake discs for pitting to ensure the low mileage has not led to surface rust affecting the braking system.
