2013 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · FE13 VNZ

The maintenance trend for this 2013 Honda CR-V is exceptionally stable, reflecting a vehicle that has required no mechanical or structural remediation over the past four years. The most recent test on 10 December 2025 at 87,047 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects recorded. Curiously, the same date shows a failed test also at 87,047 miles with no defects listed, strongly indicating a minor initial failure, such as a blown bulb or wiper blade, that was rectified and retested on the same day. The absence of any recorded advisories or failures across the entire history points to a meticulously maintained vehicle or one subjected to very light use. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with low-mileage urban or short-trip usage. Between 19 December 2022 at 71,219 miles and 19 December 2023 at 75,695 miles, the CR-V covered just 4,476 miles. This increased slightly to 6,541 miles over the following year, reaching 82,236 miles on 17 December 2024, before dropping again to 4,811 miles in the final year leading to the current 87,047 miles. This sub-5,000-mile annual average in recent years suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary, which carries its own mechanical implications despite the low wear on consumables. Because the DVSA record contains zero recurring faults or structural advisories, a buyer must rely on a physical inspection rather than historical data to verify condition. Prolonged periods of inactivity can cause latent issues not captured by an MOT. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on the condition of rubber suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links, which perish with age rather than mileage. Brake discs and calipers require close scrutiny for surface corrosion resulting from standing, a common issue on low-mileage vehicles. The underbody and sills must be inspected for structural corrosion, alongside a thorough assessment of the tyre sidewall condition and date codes, as older rubber cracks regardless of tread depth.
