2012 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · GD62 BWB

This 2012 Honda CR-V has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, all passing on the most recent due date in November 2025. The absence of advisories or failings in any category—including brakes, suspension, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity—indicates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past four years. While the November 2025 test at 37,303 miles confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK regulations, the lack of any recorded issues suggests either diligent maintenance or negligible wear at this mileage. No advisory notes imply no hidden concerns were flagged by testers, though this does not preclude unseen wear on high-wear components like suspension bushes or drive shafts. The recorded mileage of 37,303 miles over nearly 14 years reflects an exceptionally low annual average of approximately 2,664 miles, well below the typical UK usage rate for this vehicle age. This pattern suggests the CR-V has either been stored for extended periods or used sparingly, which may have mitigated some wear-and-tear. There are no significant mileage gaps between tests, with each annual interval averaging around 1,200 miles—consistent with light usage rather than neglect. While low mileage generally reduces the likelihood of major mechanical failures, it does not preclude issues arising from prolonged static storage, such as flat tyres, seized suspension joints, or degraded fluids. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear subframe mounts and bushings, which are prone to cracking or deterioration even at low mileages. The brakes—though never failed—should be assessed for uneven wear or binding calipers, as repeated light use can lead to corrosion or glazing of pads. Examine the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as rust can compromise structural integrity over time. Finally, verify the condition of the battery, which may have been overlooked due to infrequent use, and check for any signs of fluid leaks under the vehicle, indicating potential drivetrain or cooling system issues. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless.
