2014 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · GN14 RFJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward deferred attention regarding consumable components. The most recent test in January 2026 at 202,675 miles identified two defects: a frayed offside front seat belt and a nearside rear tyre reaching the legal wear limit. This mirrors a pattern seen in February 2023, where both rear tyres were flagged for uneven inner-edge wear. While the vehicle passed without defects in several intervening years, these recurring issues suggest the owner is only addressing faults as they approach inspection failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging nearly 17,000 miles annually. Between February 2023 and January 2026, the car covered 25,864 miles, representing a consistent load of over 8,000 miles per year alone. This high usage volume places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to average examples. The clean records between 2020 and 2025 indicate a period of mechanical stability, but the sheer mileage suggests accelerated wear on all rubber parts. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry and alignment, as the repeated reports of uneven tyre wear in 2023 and 2026 indicate likely worn bushes or worn control arms. The high mileage also necessitates a thorough check of the cooling system and shock absorbers, which often fail at these intervals. Additionally, the frayed offside front seat belt requires replacement to meet safety standards. Given the vehicle's age, an inspection of the chassis for corrosion is essential to ensure structural integrity remains sound.
