Our Verdict
This 2012 Honda CR-V petrol with 83,480
Given that this is a 14-year-old petrol CR-V with modest annual mileage, condition is best judged by a thorough independent inspection rather than paperwork alone. The two exhaust advisories from 2022 and 2023 indicate the system has been gradually corroding from the middle/rear flange backwards; on a car of this age a full exhaust replacement is plausible within the next couple of years, so factor in a £400-£700 quote if the current system looks thin. The 2025 lighting advisories are trivial bulb-housing issues, but it's worth checking that the multiple-light position lamp has been properly repaired and that no warning lights are stored on the dashboard. When viewing, ask to see any invoices for recent work, particularly anything relating to the exhaust, and confirm the mileage gap between MOTs is consistent (roughly 4,200-5,000 miles between tests here, which is plausible for a private-use car). A pre-purchase inspection that includes a hoist check of the rear subframe and suspension bushes is sensible on any CR-V of this vintage, regardless of how clean the MOT looks on paper.
The 2.0-litre petrol CR-V of this era typically returns around 30-34 mpg in mixed driving, dropping to high 20s in town use, so budget roughly £1,400-£1,700 per year on fuel at current prices if you're covering 7,000-8,000 miles. Road tax falls in a relatively modest band for a 2.0-litre petrol of this age, and insurance is usually group 24-26, so expect £450-£650 fully comp depending on your profile. Servicing every 12 months or 12,500 miles with parts typical of the model (oil, filters, brake fluid, occasional plugs and brake discs) tends to cost £200-£350 at an independent specialist. Combined annual running costs typically fall in the £1,800-£2,300 region for a moderate-mileage owner.
Focus the physical inspection on the items that have appeared in the MOT history. Start at the rear: check the exhaust middle section and flange for active corrosion holes, and tap the box to listen for papery thin spots, since advisories in both 2022 and 2023 suggest progressive decay rather than a one-off. Then test every rear light, particularly the upper position lamp cluster which had a non-functioning source in 2025; a failed bulb is trivial, but a corroded multi-lamp unit on a 14-year-old car is worth negotiating on. More broadly for this generation CR-V, lift the car and inspect the rear differential mounting, suspension bushes and the prop-shaft centre bearing for play or cracking, as these are known wear items that won't necessarily show on an MOT roller. Check for oil leaks from the valve cover gasket and the rear main seal, look for uneven front tyre wear (a sign of worn wishbone bushes), and verify the air-conditioning actually cools, because regassing a tired system adds £150-£250 to your first-year costs.
This GL12VOH CR-V has covered four MOT tests on the system, all passing, with mileage rising steadily from 63,523 in June 2022 to 83,480 in June 2026, averaging roughly 5,000 miles per year over the recorded period, which is below the model average of 7,097. The only defects logged are minor: an exhaust joint/corrosion advisory in 2022 and 2023, and a couple of discoloured direction indicators plus a partial rear position lamp issue in 2025. None of the top model-wide failure reasons (engine MIL, brake pipe, headlamp) appear in this vehicle's history. Against a model pass rate of 82.4%, this particular example sits firmly on the right side of average.
Across 229,554 examples analysed, the Honda CR-V shows an 82.4% MOT pass rate, which is respectable for the class, with the most common failures being engine MIL, brake pipe corrosion and headlamp issues. This particular vehicle has avoided all three of those top failure categories.
