2014 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · DU14 ESV

The most recent test on 27 November 2025 at 124,124 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the CR-V currently holds a valid clean MOT status. Maintenance trend across the supplied records is stable, with no recurrent advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity since March 2023. The vehicle presented a single failure on 31 January 2024 at 114,543 miles, yet the tester logged no defects and the subsequent test on 2 February 2024 at 114,550 miles passed cleanly, showing the rejection did not stem from worn components. The odometer readings trace a consistent but decelerating use profile. From the 1 March 2023 test at 107,527 miles to the 11 December 2024 test at 120,541 miles, the car covered roughly 13,014 miles across twenty-one months, an annualised rate near 7,400 miles. The final interval to 27 November 2025 shows only 3,583 miles added in eleven months, dropping the yearly average to about 3,700. Such reduction implies the previous owner shifted to lighter local running or prolonged stationary periods in the last year, though no extended gaps in testing occurred. The sparse defect list across all entries suggests basic upkeep was not skipped. Despite the clean record, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of age-related wear the MOT may not detail. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering joints for degradation, as rubber components on a twelve-year-old vehicle harden regardless of test outcomes. Check brake disc thickness and caliper binding, and inspect chassis legs, sills, and subframes for corrosion that advisories might have missed. The unexplained January 2024 fail with no defects recorded warrants a request for the test centre's rationale and prior service invoices to confirm the previous owner addressed any latent mechanical or emission concern.
