2005 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · FY05 AFZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-03-18 at 182,365 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2024-03-28 (174,316 miles) and 2023-03-21 (166,881 miles) also passed without issues, though a failure on 2024-03-20 (174,310 miles) noted no defects. This suggests the car has maintained compliance, with no recurring mechanical or safety concerns. The absence of advisories or critical failures in recent years implies consistent upkeep, though the single unexplained failure warrants scrutiny. The mileage progression shows steady usage, averaging 8,684 miles annually over 21 years, aligning with typical patterns for this age. A 7,420-mile increase between 2023-03-21 and 2024-03-28, followed by 8,054 miles to 2025-03-18, reflects regular driving rather than prolonged inactivity. No significant gaps or spikes in mileage are evident, reducing concerns about undetected wear from long-term storage. The MOT history lacks anomalies, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive strain or neglect. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade with age. The exhaust system, particularly near the catalytic converter, may show corrosion or leaks, common in 2005 models. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for warping or binding, as these can develop over 180,000 miles. Structural rust, especially in the underbody or wheel arches, warrants close examination, as it may indicate hidden damage. While the MOT records are clean, these areas require physical verification to confirm continued roadworthiness.
