2012 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · FX62 WRD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging mechanical wear. The most recent test in October 2025 at 117,781 miles identified a minor oil leak and a minor exhaust gas leak. While these issues did not cause a failure, they represent a departure from the defect-free history seen in the previous years, suggesting the vehicle is beginning to show component degradation consistent with its age and mileage. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent with typical UK usage patterns, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year over the fourteen-year period. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 31,000 miles, indicating steady and predictable use rather than erratic operation. The 2024 test at 110,020 miles flagged both front outer tyres as worn on the edges near the legal limit, which points to an alignment issue or neglected tyre maintenance during that specific interval. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the exhaust system to determine the extent of the gas leak noted in 2025, as minor leaks can escalate into manifold damage or catalytic converter failure. The reported oil leak requires a physical inspection to confirm if it originates from a simple valve gasket or a more significant engine seal failure. Given the uneven tyre wear recorded in 2024, a professional wheel alignment and inspection of the suspension bushes are necessary to ensure no further mechanical faults are causing premature wear on new tyres.
