2002 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · GF02 AYD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in February 2022 at 142,761 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, suggesting the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a high standard of mechanical and structural integrity up to that point. However, because the last recorded MOT is now over four years old relative to the current date, the current roadworthiness cannot be verified through records alone and a fresh inspection is mandatory. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,948 miles per year. Between October 2017 and February 2022, the car covered 10,282 miles, indicating very infrequent use of roughly 2,000 miles per annum. This low annual mileage typically implies less wear on the engine, drivetrain components, and brake-related hardware. While low mileage often preserves mechanical parts, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and brake fluid, which records do not capture. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for corrosion, as older Hondas are prone to structural rust in the sills and floor pans. Given the low usage, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for perished or perished rubber from age alone. The braking system also requires close scrutiny for binding calipers or seized discs, which frequently occur when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods. Without recent MOT data, the current state of the exhaust system and emissions components remains unknown.
