2014 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · FY64 MYC

The 2014 Honda CR-V has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across five consecutive tests, with the most recent inspection on 2025-11-22 at 122,596 miles confirming no defects. This suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, compliant roadworthiness checks without recurring mechanical failures. The absence of advisories or minor faults in any of the five tests implies that previous owners adhered to basic maintenance intervals, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred repairs. The latest test was conducted just six months ago, placing it within the optimal window for assessing current roadworthiness, though an independent inspection remains essential. The mileage progression of approximately 10,216 miles per year aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation. Each annual test occurred within a narrow window—October or November—indicating consistent scheduling, though the gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests (a 31-day delay) is slightly longer than the DVSA’s recommended 12-month interval. There is no evidence of excessive wear from high mileage, nor does the record suggest neglect, as the vehicle has consistently met MOT standards without fail. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely tested under MOT standards. Focus on the suspension system—particularly the rear coil springs and bushings—for signs of uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are prone to fatigue over 120,000 miles. The brake system warrants scrutiny beyond the MOT’s static checks; verify for uneven disc wear, glazed pads, or binding calipers, which could indicate past neglect. Structural corrosion should be inspected at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as this is a common failure point for vehicles of this age. Finally, examine the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust, as the MOT does not test for internal corrosion in catalytic converters or oxygen sensors.
