2013 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · DX63 ABU

The Honda CR-V presents a currently roadworthy status based on the most recent MOT test conducted on 16 December 2025, some seven months before the present review date, at 88,009 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. Maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable, with every annual examination returning a clean sheet on mechanical and structural grounds. The vehicle did incur two failed tests on 11 December 2025 at 88,004 miles and on 18 December 2023 at 71,971 miles, yet both failures carried no recorded defects, indicating retest or administrative anomalies rather than worsening condition. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 71,971 miles at the December 2023 test to 81,531 miles by 2 December 2024, a yearly gain of roughly 9,500 miles, then slowed to about 6,500 miles by December 2025. Such figures suggest consistent private motoring rather than fleet abuse or long stationary periods. The sparse record shows only annual tests with zero advisories, which implies previous owners addressed any wear items before each examination or the car simply required little attention. Despite the clean MOT ledger, a prospective purchaser must scrutinise components that annual tests can miss or that degrade between intervals. Inspect front suspension bushes for play, rear coil springs for fracture, and brake discs for uneven wear. Probe sills and suspension mounting points for corrosion, and confirm exhaust emissions remain within limits under cold start. The repeated fail entries dated 18 December 2023 and 11 December 2025, both showing no defects at near-identical mileages to the subsequent passes, point to administrative retests rather than neglected upkeep. Prior keepers appear to have sustained the CR-V to a standard that avoided advisory notices, a pattern consistent with measured annual use and prompt consumable replacement.
