2018 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · EU02 ANT

This 2018 Honda CR-V has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects or advisories recorded across all five tests, most recently passing on 31 July 2025 at 71,399 miles. The absence of any recurring issues or advisories suggests the vehicle has been consistently roadworthy, though the lack of defects does not preclude wear beyond MOT thresholds—particularly in areas not routinely inspected, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain components. The most recent test was conducted just over a year ago, which is within the standard MOT interval but does not account for wear accumulated since then. Buyers should treat this as a baseline for further investigation, as MOT pass status does not guarantee all components are at optimal condition. The mileage progression of approximately 8,900 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the gap between the 2023 November and September tests (just 460 miles over 11 months) suggests a period of very light use or storage. This could indicate deferred maintenance or reduced driving frequency during that interval. The subsequent 2,300 miles between the December 2023 and September 2022 tests also reflects a slower accumulation, though the overall trend remains stable without abrupt spikes or drops that might signal neglect or aggressive driving. The lack of advisories or defects in these periods implies no major mechanical interventions were required, but it does not confirm whether routine services (e.g., timing belt, fluid changes) were performed on schedule. Given the clean MOT record, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear items not always covered by the test, such as the suspension bushes (particularly rear), coil springs for corrosion or fatigue, and brake calipers for binding or excessive wear. The absence of advisories on brakes or emissions suggests no immediate failure risks, but buyers should verify the condition of brake discs for lateral grooving or uneven wear, as well as the integrity of the exhaust system for leaks or structural corrosion. The engine bay should be examined for oil leaks, coolant contamination, or degraded hoses, while the undercarriage warrants scrutiny for rust penetration around wheel arches, subframes, and suspension mounts. The interior should be checked for excessive wear on the gearshift boot or dashboard materials, which may indicate previous accidents or prolonged exposure to heat.
