2012 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · DN62 TWP

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift from clean records to developing mechanical wear. While the car passed its August 2025 test at 97,691 miles, the tester flagged multiple new advisories that were absent in previous years. This indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where age-related component degradation is requiring proactive replacement to prevent future failures or safety risks. At 97,691 miles, the CR-V's mileage profile is consistent with its 14-year age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. The record shows steady usage patterns with a notable gap of 10,145 miles between December 2023 and August 2025. The lack of recorded defects between 2021 and 2024 suggests a period of stable mechanical health, but the sudden appearance of multiple faults in 2025 suggests that despite low annual mileage, rubber and metal components are now failing due to time rather than high mileage. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the lower-tier suspension and braking system. The 2025 test specifically identified perished front lower suspension arm bushes and weak rear shock absorbers, which builds on an advisory for corroded shocks from late 2022. The presence of corrosion on the rear anti-roll bar also necessitates a close look at the chassis to ensure rust does not compromise structural integrity. Furthermore, the slight lip on both front and rear brake discs indicates the rotors are nearing the end of their functional life and will likely require replacement in the near future.
