Our Verdict
This is a solid consideration for a buyer looking for a diesel SUV with relatively low mileage for its age. While the MOT history shows a momentary setback, the recent clean records suggest a stable current status.
When inspecting this specific CR-V, focus on the diesel powertrain. Given the 2199cc engine size, ensure the service history (if available) includes regular oil changes to prevent common diesel component issues. Check the condition of the brake pipes and headlamps during your viewing, as these are statistically common failure points for the CR-V model across the wider dataset.
Negotiate based on the fact that while the most recent MOT passed without defects, there was a failure recorded in January 2025. Ask the seller for clarification on what caused that failure and what work was carried out to rectify it. Always verify that the mileage of 88,738 miles is consistent with the service records provided.
As a 2.2L diesel, running costs will be influenced by fuel prices and your annual mileage. You should expect moderate fuel economy typical of a large SUV, though it will be more efficient on long motorway journeys than in stop-start city driving.
Tax and insurance will depend on the specific insurance group and CO2 emissions of this 2012 model. Maintenance costs for a Honda are generally predictable, but keep in mind that larger diesel engines can have higher servicing costs for filters and specialized components. An estimated annual budget should account for these factors alongside fuel.
Start by inspecting the exterior lighting; the aggregate data for this model highlights headlamps as a top failure reason. Check that all bulbs are working and the lenses are clear and not significantly oxidised.
Next, examine the underside or request a recent inspection of the brake system. Since brake pipes are a common failure point for this model, look for any signs of corrosion or weeping. Finally, given the mileage, check the condition of the tyres and suspension components, ensuring there is no excessive play that might lead to future MOT advisories.
This 2012 grey Honda CR-V features a 2.2L diesel engine and has covered 88,738 miles as of its last MOT in January 2026. The vehicle's mileage is notably lower than the model average of approximately 7,082 miles per year, which would equate to roughly 106,000 miles for a car of this age. The MOT history is largely clean, with only one recorded failure in early 2025.
The CR-V shows an average MOT pass rate of 82.3% across the 229,376 vehicles analysed, with common issues relating to headlamps, brake pipes, and engine mil indicators.
