2013 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · FJ63 NFY

The 2013 Honda CR-V presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 3 November 2025 at 110,838 miles. The tester recorded zero defects or advisories during this most recent inspection, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and environmental standards without any immediate mechanical concerns. This unblemished record suggests the previous owner addressed any wear items proactively, maintaining the vehicle to a standard where no component degradation warranted even an advisory note. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age, demonstrating consistent annual usage without alarming spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. Between the October 2021 test at 80,955 miles and the November 2025 test at 110,838 miles, the CR-V covered roughly 30,000 miles over four years, averaging approximately 7,200 miles annually. This recent annual mileage sits slightly below the vehicle's lifetime average of 8,526 miles per year, reflecting a modest reduction in usage as the vehicle has aged. The steady, predictable accumulation rules out the extreme wear associated with high-mileage fleet use or the moisture-related corrosion risks often seen in cars left standing for extended durations. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on the typical wear points for a 13-year-old CR-V approaching 111,000 miles. The tester found no structural corrosion or suspension issues, yet a buyer should personally examine the subframe and inner wheel arches for surface rust, a common affliction on older examples. Suspension bushes and coil springs require close scrutiny, as deterioration here often occurs gradually without triggering an MOT failure until severe. Brake disc thickness and caliper operation also warrant verification, given the mileage, to ensure the clean pass reflects current condition rather than a recent replacement. An underbody check will confirm whether the documented care extends to the chassis and exhaust system, safeguarding against the hidden corrosion that MOTs can occasionally miss.
