2006 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · GL06 XWG

The 2006 Honda CR-V presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 April 2024 at 272,570 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the sole blemish being a failure on 25 March 2024 at 272,201 miles that listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded minor issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in March 2022 and March 2023 passed cleanly at 240,297 and 256,794 miles respectively. Mileage stands at 272,570 against a 20-year lifespan, averaging roughly 13,628 miles per year, which is high for the age and points to sustained use rather than prolonged storage. The record shows steady annual accumulation of about 16,500 miles between 2022 and 2023, then only 15,776 miles to the 2024 tests. No long dormant gaps appear, though the sparse four-entry history limits insight into earlier wear patterns on drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the CR-V's age and high mileage make chassis rust a likely latent risk not captured by these clean tests. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks for fatigue, given the accumulated 272k miles on original mounting points and linkages. The March 2024 failure with zero recorded defects merits scrutiny of the DVSA refusal reason, since it may indicate a missed emissions or documentation step rather than resolved mechanical work. Verify service history to confirm consumables like timing belt and transmission fluid were renewed at appropriate intervals for this mileage.
