2005 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · FM54 DFJ

The 2005 Honda CR-V presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 30 January 2026 at 93,285 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available record, with three passes and two same-day failures that carried no listed defects. The twin failures on 29 January 2026 and 4 February 2025, both at unchanged mileages and with no faults noted, point to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical deterioration. Recorded mileage sits at 93,285 against an age of roughly 21 years, equating to about 4,442 miles per year. The car covered only 1,116 miles between the February 2024 test at 90,861 miles and the January 2026 pass at 93,285. Such low annual use implies light running but also probable extended standing periods, which commonly accelerate corrosion on structural members and suspension bushes while allowing brake discs to surface-rust. The DVSA data flags no advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, suspension, or structural integrity across any entry. A clean sheet at every test suggests previous owners addressed consumables before each examination. The same-day fail-and-pass pattern without recorded defects gives no evidence of skipped upkeep on wear items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the vehicle. Standing time raises the risk of hidden corrosion on subframes and floor pan, and of binding calipers from idle brakes. Verify the condition of coil springs, wishbone bushes, and underbody shielding, since the MOT record offers no visibility of components the tester did not flag.
