2006 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · FL56 MPF

The vehicle presents a stable and sound mechanical history, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent test. During the July 2025 test at 133,464 miles, the tester recorded zero defects, following an identical clean pass in July 2024 at 126,507 miles. The maintenance trend is highly stable, showing no recurring mechanical faults or structural advisories over the recorded period. A fail recorded on 30 July 2025 preceded the pass on 31 July 2025, both at the exact same mileage, indicating a minor pre-test issue such as a blown bulb or incorrect tyre pressure was rectified immediately before the successful retest. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with the vehicle's age, reflecting typical usage rather than prolonged standing or excessive wear. Between July 2023 and July 2024, the CR-V covered 5,872 miles, and between July 2024 and July 2025, it covered 6,957 miles. This consistent annual mileage of roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles suggests regular, steady use without alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer. The data is sparse but entirely clean, offering a concise and reassuring ownership pattern. Despite the flawless MOT record, a twenty-year-old Honda CR-V demands a thorough physical inspection focused on age-related deterioration rather than mechanical failure. Buyers must inspect the underbody and suspension mounting points for corrosion, a common issue for vehicles of this era. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or cracking, and examine the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, even if braking efficiency passed the rollers. The exhaust system requires close scrutiny for rust, particularly around the joints and mounting rubbers. While the paper trail shows no recurring faults, the physical reality of an ageing chassis means structural integrity and corrosion resistance should be the primary concerns during a viewing.
