2007 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · EO57 BWB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the history indicates a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach. While the most recent test in August 2022 at 159,348 miles resulted in a pass, it carried multiple advisories regarding tyres worn close to the legal limit. Given that nearly four years have passed since this recorded test, the vehicle is significantly overdue for an MOT, and the current state of rubber and friction components has likely deteriorated since the last official inspection. The mileage figure of 159,348 miles over 19 years averages to approximately 8,387 miles per year, which is consistent with typical domestic usage for a vehicle of this age. There is a notable gap in the testing record between September 2020 and August 2022, during which the vehicle covered roughly 10,000 miles. This period of use, combined with the recurring tyre issues noted in both the two most recent tests, suggests that while the car is used regularly, consumable items are often treated as an afterthought until they reach critical failure. A buyer must pay close attention to the braking system and exhaust assembly based on the 2019 failure at 139,760 miles. The tester identified a severely binding offside front caliper and a major central exhaust leak, issues that require immediate mechanical verification to ensure the caliper pistons have not seized and that the exhaust system has not suffered further structural corrosion. Additionally, the noted corrosion on the towbar from 2018 warrants a thorough visual inspection of the surrounding chassis and rear mounting points, as rust in these areas is a common structural concern for older Honda CR-V models.
