2011 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · DU61 AWF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 85,443 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a failure in early 2024. While the vehicle previously struggled with mechanical and consumable issues, the two most recent tests recorded only a minor registration plate deterioration, indicating that the current owner has addressed the primary safety concerns identified by the tester previously. At 15 years old with 85,443 miles, this CR-V has covered a low average of approximately 5,700 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent in recent years, with roughly 3,000 miles covered between early 2024 and 2025, and another 3,160 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This low-frequency use suggests short trips, but low-mile vehicles often suffer from age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyres during a physical inspection. The 2024 failure noted a brake lever with insufficient reserve travel, which could indicate a failing master cylinder or internal hydraulic leakages. Additionally, the previous nearside front tyre was flagged for perishing and uneven wear; given the low mileage and high age of the vehicle, the tyres are likely dry rotting regardless of tread depth. The recurring advisory on the rear registration plate is a cosmetic concern but should be monitored to prevent future failures.
