2013 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · DX63 ABF

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT passed on 2 October 2025 at 145,917 miles. While the car has maintained a consistent passing record, the latest advisory regarding thin rear brake pads indicates that consumable wear is currently progressing. This follows a clean result in the 29 October 2024 test at 139,592 miles, suggesting that the vehicle has undergone periods of well-managed upkeep punctuated by standard wear and tear. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,224 miles per year. The records show steady usage without significant gaps or periods of prolonged inactivity. Between the August 2021 test at 110,523 miles and the September 2022 test at 125,672 miles, the vehicle covered 15,149 miles, which aligns with the established pattern of annual mileage. This steady usage suggests the drivetrain and mechanical components have been subjected to regular, predictable workloads rather than the stresses of long periods of standing or excessive high-speed motorway running. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension components. The 2017 failure at 48,891 miles highlighted significant issues with front brake pads, scored discs, and split suspension strut bellows, alongside tyre wear. Although these were resolved, the recent advisory for thin rear pads in 2025 suggests the braking system requires immediate attention. Given the history of tyre edge wear in 2017 and 2020, checking the current wheel alignment and suspension bush condition is also advisable to ensure no recurring geometry issues exist. The 2023 test at 133,614 miles noted an inoperative registration plate lamp and an obstructed adult belt inspection due to a child seat. While these are minor compliance issues, they reflect a tendency for small, non-mechanical defects to occasionally slip through. The overall history does not indicate any structural integrity concerns or recurring failures in emissions or lighting, making the vehicle's mechanical condition appear predictable and manageable.
