2012 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · FL62 UUH

The 2012 Honda CR-V has a recent MOT on 2026-01-12 at 132,731 miles, showing multiple corrosion and wear issues. The rear anti-roll bar was corroded but not seriously weakened, while nearside and offside rear anti-roll bar pins or bushes were worn but not causing excessive movement. A nearside front track rod end dust cover was damaged, allowing minor grease leakage, and the offside rear silencer flange was very corroded. These issues suggest ongoing exposure to environmental factors or lack of maintenance, though none were classified as serious. Previous MOTs reveal a pattern of recurring anti-roll bar and suspension component wear. The 2025 MOT noted a severely deteriorated front anti-roll bar dust cover, and 2024 and 2023 entries highlighted worn bushings and tyres approaching legal limits. While all tests passed, the gradual accumulation of wear on suspension components and tyres indicates a trend of increasing degradation. The 2026 MOT’s corrosion issues may signal worsening conditions, though no critical failures were recorded. The vehicle’s mileage of 132,731 miles over 14 years equates to ~9,481 miles annually, which is typical for its age. This suggests consistent use rather than long-term inactivity, but higher mileage could accelerate wear on consumables and mechanical systems.
