2008 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · FG08 AEM

This 2008 Honda CR-V presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 23 September 2025 at 141,195 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The absence of any advisories over the last four years indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It has covered approximately 7,844 miles per year, showing a steady accumulation of distance. Between 30 September 2022 at 125,521 miles and 23 September 2025 at 141,195 miles, the car averaged roughly 5,500 miles annually. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been in constant use rather than sitting idle, which typically helps preserve rubber seals and prevents battery degradation. The clean MOT history is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. No recurring issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs appear in the data. There are no mentions of corrosion or structural integrity failures, which are common pitfalls for 2008 models. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the underbody for surface rust and check the condition of the drivetrain components. Given the mileage of 141,195, the focus should be on the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements. While the MOT record is flawless, these internal engine components and the condition of the automatic or manual gearbox are not captured in a standard DVSA test.
