2008 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · FM08 RNO

The 2008 Honda CR-V presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The September 2025 test at 179,496 miles passed cleanly with no advisories, continuing an unbroken pass sequence since November 2021. This consistent pattern indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without escalating mechanical concerns. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,972 miles per year. The records show steady annual use: 153,266 miles in November 2021, rising to 157,634 by November 2022, 162,257 by September 2023, 167,751 by September 2024, and 179,496 by September 2025. The sparse but clean history reveals no gaps exceeding thirteen months between tests and no sudden mileage spikes that would suggest commercial abuse or neglected periods of standing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition despite the absence of flagged advisories. High-mileage Hondas of this generation commonly develop corrosion on subframes and sills that testers may clear one year yet fail the next. The drivetrain and exhaust emissions have shown no recorded faults, though the interval between the 2021 and 2022 tests stretched to just over twelve months, leaving limited margin for wear detection. Given the clean MOT trail, previous owners appear to have addressed roadworthiness items before each test rather than deferring consumable replacements. The lack of repeated advisories on tyres, wipers, or binding calipers suggests basic upkeep was not skipped. Prospective purchasers should verify service history against the recorded mileages and confirm structural integrity beneath arch liners before completion.
