2010 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · FY60 ACZ

The 2010 Honda CR‑V last passed its MOT on 21 October 2025 at 115,487 mi, but the same day a failure was also recorded. The tester flagged an offside front suspension arm ball joint as excessively worn (5.3.4 (a)(i)), alongside the usual advisories on the registration‑plate lamp, anti‑roll bar linkage, steering rack arm play and exhaust corrosion. Compared with the 2024 test, the suspension condition has deteriorated rather than improved, indicating a worsening maintenance trend. Mileage has accumulated at roughly 7,200 mi per year over the vehicle’s 16‑year life, which is typical for this age group. The record shows a consistent yearly increase: from 109,111 mi in October 2024 to 115,487 mi in October 2025 (≈6,376 mi), and from 101,293 mi in October 2023 to 109,111 mi a year later (≈7,818 mi). Earlier gaps, such as the 8,000 mi rise between September 2021 and September 2020, are similarly modest. No sudden spikes or unusually long gaps appear in the log. A prospective buyer should inspect the front suspension hardware in detail. The offside lower arm ball joint shows excessive wear, so the joint should be examined for clearance and corrosion. The steering rack arm play noted in both 2024 and 2025 suggests the rack or associated components may need adjustment or replacement. Exhaust system corrosion at the joints is recurrent; a visual check for rusted brackets and secure mounts is advisable. Brake discs were recorded as worn and pitted at 101,293 mi; the condition of both rear discs should be verified. Finally, the EGR leak logged in June 2017 and the occasional tyre‑pressure warnings merit a check of the EGR valve and tyre wear, especially the rear tyre that was noted close to the legal limit in 2016.
