2004 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · GV04 ADX

The 2004 Honda CR-V demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent March 2025 inspection at 88,924 miles. All tests from 2021 to 2025 show consistent compliance, indicating reliable maintenance practices by previous owners. No advisories or critical failures were noted, suggesting the vehicle has been well-kept within legal standards. The absence of recurring issues across multiple checks implies a low risk of hidden mechanical deterioration at this stage. The vehicle’s mileage of 88,924 miles at age 22 years equates to an average of 4,042 miles annually, significantly below typical usage for its age. This pattern suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could affect components like tyres, fluids, and electrical systems. Notably, the 2024 test at 84,782 miles showed a 4,142-mile gap since the 2023 check, raising questions about potential storage conditions. While no defects were recorded, the low mileage may mask wear in parts not tested during MOTs, such as suspension bushes or drive shaft joints. A buyer should verify the condition of corrosion, particularly in body seams and underbody panels, as low mileage does not preclude rust from environmental exposure. Inspecting the brake system for fluid leaks or uneven pad wear is advisable, as MOTs do not always detect subtle issues. The absence of suspension-related advisories is positive, but a physical check of coil springs and shock absorbers is recommended to confirm resilience. Overall, the MOT history reflects a mechanically sound vehicle, but its low mileage warrants careful evaluation of static-related wear not captured in routine tests.
