2013 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · GV63 FUY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding suspension and exhaust components. The most recent test in December 2025 at 112,680 miles resulted in a failure due to an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint. While this was rectified to secure a subsequent pass, the appearance of a minor exhaust manifold leak and general corrosion under the vehicle suggests that the car is beginning to show signs of age-related material fatigue and environmental degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. The record shows steady progression between tests, moving from 87,614 miles in November 2022 to 112,680 miles by December 2025. This consistent use suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which often helps keep seals and mechanical components lubricated. However, the accumulated mileage over thirteen years naturally explains the wear observed on rubber-mounted components and braking hardware noted in the advisories. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system, as the history shows recurring issues with ball joints and anti-roll bar linkages. The tester flagged pitted and scored offside rear brake discs in both 2023 and 2024, indicating that the braking system requires close monitoring for thinning or surface corrosion. Furthermore, the general corrosion noted in the December 2025 test warrants a close look at the structural integrity and mounting points to ensure that surface rust has not progressed into deep structural decay that could compromise the long-term viability of the chassis.
