2011 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · FX11 CTV

The most recent MOT test on 13 August 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking back through the history since early 2023, the vehicle has maintained a remarkably clean record, showing a stable maintenance trend. The absence of recurring advisories suggests that the previous owner has likely addressed wear and tear items proactively before they reached a failure threshold, which is a positive indicator of the vehicle's overall mechanical health and consistent upkeep. With a recorded mileage of 124,303 miles over a fifteen year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,287 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age, avoiding the pitfalls of excessive wear associated with high mileage fleet use or the degradation common in vehicles that have spent long periods standing. At this mileage, the drivetrain and chassis have been exercised regularly, though the buyer should expect standard wear on high friction components and rubber mounts. Given the clean MOT history, the physical inspection should focus on age related degradation that may not trigger an MOT failure but affects long term reliability. Carefully examine the tyre sidewalls for hairline cracking or perishing, as tyres can age out even if the tread depth remains legal. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure there is no evidence of binding calipers, which can occur if the vehicle has had periods of inactivity. The 12V battery health should be verified, as older batteries often struggle during winter starts despite passing a basic electrical test. Finally, it is essential to verify the service history regarding calendar based maintenance. Check the service book for evidence of regular oil changes and the replacement of critical fluids, such as brake fluid and coolant, which degrade over time regardless of mileage. Pay close attention to the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, listening for any clunks or knocks during a test drive that might indicate rubber fatigue. Ensuring the vehicle has a documented history of preventative maintenance will be key to confirming its continued roadworthiness.
