2007 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · FP57 ADZ

The 2026‑01‑31 MOT passed the 2007 Honda CR‑V, confirming its current roadworthiness, but the record reveals a maintenance trend that is stable yet marked by persistent structural rust and brake‑related defects. In the most recent test the rear suspension component mounting was repaired and covered with underseal, the rear brake hose showed slight corrosion at the ferrule, the brake pipe was corroded and masked by grease, and the rear sub‑frame was noted as corroded without serious weakening. These findings indicate that while the vehicle remains legally drivable, ongoing corrosion and brake wear require close monitoring. With 176,706 miles recorded at 19 years of age, the vehicle averages roughly 9,300 miles per year, a figure typical for its class. Mileage has risen steadily from 115,551 miles in June 2017 to the present, with the most recent increment of 2,812 miles between 2025 and 2026 suggesting reduced usage; no extended periods of zero mileage are evident in the log, and the incremental increases remain consistent with normal wear patterns. A buyer should focus on the recurring rear sub‑frame and suspension mounting corrosion documented since 2018, the slight corrosion of the rear brake hose ferrule and pipe flagged in 2026, and the worn, pitted rear brake disc recorded in 2025. Particular attention is required to the structural integrity of the chassis near the rear sub‑frame mounting, the condition of the rear suspension bushes, the state of the rear tyre tread, and the adequacy of any previous underseal repairs, as these components represent the most serious mechanical risks.
