2013 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · GU63 AAF

The 2013 Honda CR-V has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across the last five annual tests, culminating in a clean pass on 9 August 2025 at 90,082 miles. This suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not experienced any recurring mechanical failures or advisory issues during the most recent testing cycle. The most recent test, just over a year ago, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though a pre-purchase inspection remains essential to verify components not routinely assessed in an MOT—such as fluid levels, minor corrosion, or wear not yet visible to the naked eye. The mileage progression of approximately 8,500 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, without abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The only anomaly is the duplicate MOT entry from August 2022, where the vehicle failed at 66,168 miles before passing the following day at 66,169 miles—a minor administrative quirk rather than a mechanical concern. There are no gaps in MOT testing, indicating the vehicle has been kept current with legal requirements, though this does not guarantee all maintenance has been performed. A buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension components, particularly the coil springs and bushes, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The lack of recorded defects does not preclude gradual wear in these areas, which could manifest as uneven tyre wear or a stiff ride. Brake systems should also be scrutinised, as binding calipers or uneven pad thickness often go unnoticed until they become a safety hazard. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, warrants examination for corrosion, as this is a common failure point in older CR-Vs. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive rust, as these issues frequently develop between MOT tests.
