2008 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · FH57 VOD

The 2008 Honda CR-V presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 28 October 2025 at 101,909 miles which recorded no defects. The vehicle passed cleanly with no advisories, and the preceding annual tests show the same pattern of clean passes. This indicates the current keeper has kept the car to a standard that satisfies DVSA inspection without outstanding mechanical concerns. Recorded mileage sits at 101,909 against an 18-year lifespan, averaging roughly 5,662 miles per year which is low for the age. The records show gentle accumulation: 96,915 miles at the failed test on 31 October 2023, 99,815 at the pass on 24 October 2024, and 101,909 by October 2025. The sparse history reveals only two failed entries on 31 October 2023 and 24 October 2024, both logged at 96,915 and 99,814 miles respectively, yet both were followed by passes the next day with no defects recorded. Such same-day reversal without noted faults suggests administrative or presentation issues at initial submission rather than latent mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low annual use, as prolonged standing promotes corrosion and perished rubber that a clean MOT may not expose. The exhaust emissions and structural integrity carried no advisories, but eighteen years of service warrants checking underneath for rust on sills and subframes. The recurring same-day fail-then-pass pattern points to previous owners who rectified or represented the car promptly rather than neglecting upkeep. Given the clean trailing record, the CR-V reads as a low-mileage example maintained to pass standard, though in-person scrutiny of wear items remains prudent before purchase.
