Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution. While the last
The primary priority must be obtaining a fresh MOT test before any funds are exchanged, as the most recent record is from 2021. You should specifically look for signs of deterioration associated with long-term storage, such as perished rubber seals, flat-spotted tyres, or seized brake calipers.
Negotiate the price based on the fact that the vehicle's current roadworthiness is unknown. Request any available service records to determine if the vehicle was maintained during its period of inactivity or if it has been sitting dormant since 2021.
The 2.2L diesel engine is designed for efficiency over longer distances, though fuel economy will be lower than modern diesel equivalents. Tax and insurance will be based on 2005 emissions standards and the vehicle's insurance group.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher due to the vehicle's age and the potential need for a full recommissioning after a long period of inactivity. Expect to spend more on initial consumables like oils, filters, and potentially a new battery.
Inspect the brake pipes and headlamps thoroughly, as these are listed as top failure reasons for the CR-V model. Check that the engine management light (MIL) illuminates during the start-up sequence and then turns off, as 'engine mil inoperative' is a common failure point for this model.
Given the gap in MOT history since 2021, check for fluid leaks under the engine and signs of corrosion on the chassis. Ensure all electrical components are functioning, as long-term storage often leads to battery failure and electrical glitches.
This silver 2005 Honda CR-V 2.2L diesel has a recorded mileage of 125,050 miles as of November 2021. The MOT record shows a pass with no defects on that date, but there is a total absence of data between 2021 and 2026. This suggests the vehicle may have been off the road for a prolonged period.
The CR-V has an average MOT pass rate of 82.4%, with common failures involving brake pipes and lighting.
