2009 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · EA59 FGG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent pass record over the last several years. The most recent test on 24 April 2025 at 102,250 miles resulted in a clean pass, following a failure just one day prior. This immediate rectification without recorded defects suggests a minor administrative or presentation issue was resolved instantly, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The data indicates that the vehicle has maintained its operational standards throughout the most recent inspection period. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-utilisation use of this age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between January 2022 and April 2023, where the car covered only 700 miles in over fourteen months. Since then, the usage has become more regular, covering roughly 13,000 miles over the last three years. This low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based parts or brake fluid moisture during long periods of inactivity. Given the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to age on a seventeen-year-old Honda CR-V that do not always trigger a failure. Prioritize checking the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly on the rear subframe and mounting points where rust is known to accumulate. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as low mileage can cause rubber to perish. While the record is clean, checking for binding calipers or perished brake lines is necessary to ensure the vehicle remains responsive despite its age.
