2010 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · EO60 YNG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in deferred suspension and rubber component repairs. The most recent test in November 2025 at 151,312 miles flagged a significant increase in advisories compared to previous years, particularly regarding tyres. While the vehicle passes, the persistent presence of worn suspension arm bushes and deteriorated ball joint dust covers across multiple years indicates that the owner is addressing components only when they reach the threshold of MOT failure, rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 118,544 miles and November 2025 at 151,312 miles, the car covered 32,768 miles, showing steady usage. This suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, but the age of the car explains the degradation of rubber-based bushes and dust covers, which are prone to perish cracking from environmental exposure despite the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension assembly. The record has repeatedly flagged severely deteriorated front ball joint dust covers and worn suspension arm bushes since 2022. If these have not been replaced, the ingress of grit will lead to rapid failure of the steering joints. The November 2025 test also noted three tyres worn close to the legal limit and on the edges, which strongly suggests an alignment issue or incorrect tyre pressures that requires immediate professional attention. Furthermore, the front braking system requires scrutiny as the record noted thin pads and worn discs in 2023. The buyer should verify the current thickness of the remaining pads and check for disc scoring or uneven wear. The presence of product on the headlamp lenses is a minor concern but indicates a lack of cosmetic detailing that could affect light output in the future.
