2006 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · FG56 XTC

This 2006 Honda CR-V passed its most recent MOT in October 2025, but the history reveals a concerning pattern of structural and component decay. The primary risk is systemic corrosion. There are recurring advisories and failures regarding the rear sub-frame, rear suspension arms, and the exhaust system. While the underbody has been under-sealed, the continued appearance of corrosion and the failure in 2024 suggest that rust is a persistent issue for this vehicle. The condition trend is worsening. Recent entries show a progression from simple exhaust corrosion to structural concerns with the sub-frame and suspension arms, and most recently, a leaking front shock absorber. The mileage of 169,832 is typical for a 20-year-old vehicle. This suggests consistent use, which means drivetrain and suspension consumables are likely well-worn and may require replacement soon. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and rear suspension mounting points for severe rust. Check the front shock absorbers for leaks and inspect the tyres for perishing or sidewall cracking, as these have been recurring issues.
