2012 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · GL12 VOV

Before committing to purchase, ask the seller for evidence that the headlamp aim and stop lamp defects recorded at the April 2026 failure have been properly rectified, and ideally see a fresh MOT pass certificate to confirm compliance. The fact that the vehicle passed on the same day as the failure suggests remedial work was carried out immediately, but a buyer should still verify the repairs were done to a satisfactory standard and that the headlamp beam pattern is now correct. On the broader CR-V, the 2.0 i-VTEC petrol unit is generally regarded as robust, but it is worth checking the timing chain, VTC actuator, and for any signs of oil consumption, which are known areas of attention on this generation. Service history should be requested in full, as the MOT data alone cannot confirm routine maintenance, and any gaps in cambelt or spark plug replacement history should be raised as a negotiation point.

This grey 2.0-litre petrol Honda CR-V, first registered in June 2012, has covered 92,658 miles across four recorded MOT tests, passing on three occasions with a single failure noted on 20 April 2026. The only advisory item recorded was for both front tyres being worn close to the legal limit at the 2024 test, which was addressed before the following test. The aggregate MOT pass rate for this model stands at 82.4%, and the annual mileage of roughly 7,840 miles sits close to the model average of 7,097 miles, suggesting typical usage rather than excessive driving.
