2008 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · DV08 UMA

The roadworthiness of this Honda CR-V is currently questionable due to a significant gap in testing spanning over four years. The last recorded test on 17 January 2022 at 186,813 miles resulted in a failure with no specific defects listed in the summary. Given the current date of 25 June 2026, the vehicle is four years overdue for an MOT. The maintenance trend prior to the failure appeared stable, with the vehicle passing tests with no recorded defects between 2018 and 2020. The mileage reflects a consistent usage pattern, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per year over its 18-year life. Between August 2018 and September 2020, the vehicle covered 21,733 miles, which aligns with typical annual usage. However, the interval of 10,637 miles between September 2020 and January 2022 shows a period of relatively heavy use followed by the final recorded failure. The lack of any data since early 2022 makes it impossible to verify the current state of mechanical components or safety-critical systems. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity and suspension components which the record cannot confirm. At this age and mileage, Honda CR-V models are prone to corrosion on the rear subframe and exhaust mounting points. The inspector should specifically check for worn suspension bushes and signs of leaking coil springs, as these frequently fail on high-mileage Japanese SUVs. Because the 2022 failure lacked specific defect details, a manual check of the brake system for binding calipers or worn discs is essential to ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy after its long period of unverified use.
