2010 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · DX60 HDA

The vehicle currently presents a concerning decline in maintenance standards following two years of clean inspections. While it passed its most recent MOT on 24 March 2026 at 162,342 miles, the failure just one day prior at 162,328 miles reveals a significant accumulation of mechanical neglect. The transition from clean records in 2024 and 2025 to a comprehensive list of defects suggests that the previous owner has deferred essential repairs until forced to act by a test failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the car covered 7,024 miles, followed by a higher interval of 13,692 miles in the following year, and another 14,102 miles in the period leading up to the 2026 test. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is subjected to regular road-related wear on rubber components and suspension bushings, which explains the high volume of advisories seen in the latest test results. A physical inspection must focus on the multiple fluid leaks identified in the March 2026 failure. The tester flagged both a front oil leak and a power steering component leak, which may require significant repair to prevent further mechanical damage. The suspension is showing signs of widespread wear with play detected in the anti-roll bar linkages, track rod ends, and front lower arm bushes. These issues together indicate that the vehicle's handling and stability may be compromised if these components have not been replaced recently. The buyer should also address the airbag warning lamp, which caused a failure and represents a critical safety system fault that requires professional diagnosis. The record shows a recurring trend of perishing tyres and insecure batteries, suggesting that the vehicle may sit for short periods or suffer from poor upkeep. Given the state of the front brake discs and the incorrect headlamp aim, the lighting and braking systems require a thorough check for uneven wear or alignment to ensure the vehicle meets roadworthy standards beyond the basic MOT requirements.
