2014 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · FN14 CZT

The 2014 Honda CR-V presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 February 2026 at 28,244 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 8 March 2024 at 22,711 miles, which the DVLA record shows with no defects listed; the owner corrected whatever administrative or present-at-test issue applied and passed four days later on 12 March 2024. No advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the chain. Recorded mileage sits at 28,244 against roughly twelve years of age, an average of about 2,354 miles per year. The odometer moved from 20,402 at the 17 March 2023 test to 22,711 by March 2024, then 25,885 in February 2025 and 28,244 in February 2026. Annual accumulation holds near 2,300 to 3,200 miles with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. Such low use over a long span suggests the car spent extended periods stationary, a pattern that can let brake calipers seize, tyres crack, and underbody corrosion take hold even when MOT sheets stay clean. A buyer should still lay eyes on the mechanical items the short MOT history cannot confirm. The March 2024 fail with zero defects logged points to a possible documentation or identification issue rather than worn components, but the low standing mileage means fluid degradation and perished rubber are live risks. Inspect the front coil springs and suspension arms for fracturing or bush wear, and check the rear brake calipers for binding after the car has stood unused. Examine the sills, subframes, and exhaust for structural rust given the age and likely outdoor storage. Confirm the cambelt interval against Honda's schedule rather than the test record, since the MOT never assesses internal drivetrain servicing. The clean advisory sheet is reassuring, yet twelve years of light use demands a physical check the DVSA data does not cover.
