2007 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · FP07 FKA

The 2007 Honda CR-V presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 14 July 2025 at 63,431 miles. The absence of any recorded defects across the entire history indicates consistent mechanical integrity and diligent upkeep by the previous keeper. A peculiar entry exists on 8 August 2024, where the vehicle failed at 61,983 miles yet shows no recorded defects, followed immediately by a pass at the identical mileage on the same day. This anomaly likely represents an aborted test or a data entry error rather than a genuine mechanical failure, as the subsequent tests confirm no underlying faults. The mileage accumulation aligns with exceptionally light usage, averaging roughly 3,338 miles per year over its nineteen-year lifespan. Between the September 2022 test at 59,608 miles and the September 2023 test at 61,335 miles, the vehicle covered just 1,727 miles. This figure dropped slightly to 1,448 miles between the August 2024 and July 2025 tests. Such low annual distances suggest prolonged periods of standing, which demands a specific inspection focus despite the clean MOT record. Despite the flawless MOT record, a buyer must inspect components susceptible to deterioration from standing rather than driving. Check the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and the brake discs for surface corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from pads binding or discs rusting from lack of use. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion and inspect the suspension bushes for perishing, which can degrade simply with age and lack of lubrication from movement. The underbody and structural mounts warrant a close look for any signs of surface rust that might not yet constitute an MOT failure but indicates storage conditions.
