2007 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · DU07 XWA

This Honda CR-V presents a clean and stable MOT history, with no defects recorded across the three most recent tests—most recently passing in November 2023 at 158,710 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests that major mechanical components, including brakes, suspension, and structural integrity, have been maintained to a high standard within the testing parameters. The consistent pass rate over three consecutive years indicates responsible upkeep, though the lack of recorded mileage between tests prevents a full assessment of wear progression on non-MOT-checked items like fluids or interior wear. The vehicle’s mileage accumulation—approximately 8,353 miles per year—aligns closely with typical usage for its age, suggesting it has not been subjected to excessive stress or neglect. The 24,176-mile gap between the 2021 and 2023 tests (118,733 to 158,710 miles) is slightly above average but not alarming, and the steady mileage increments imply regular use without prolonged periods of inactivity. Without advisories or failures, there’s no evidence of sudden mechanical degradation or poor maintenance habits, though the sparse data leaves room for hidden issues not covered by the MOT. For a buyer, the primary focus should be on components not routinely checked by the MOT, such as the condition of the coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake fluid quality, all of which can degrade without visible symptoms. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough inspection of the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion—particularly around the catalytic converter—would be prudent, as emissions compliance was not explicitly noted in the records. Additionally, checking for signs of binding in the rear brakes, even if not flagged in tests, is advisable, as older CR-V models have occasionally exhibited subtle brake wear over time. The absence of rust-related advisories is a positive indicator, but a close examination of the undercarriage, wheel arches, and sills for early corrosion would confirm long-term structural health.
