2007 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · HA56 ANS

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear progression of suspension and braking component degradation. The most recent test in December 2025 at 105,508 miles identified pitted and scored discs on both axles alongside reduced damping in the rear shock absorbers. This follows a 2024 failure where a corroded offside rear coil spring was flagged. While the car continues to pass, the frequency of mechanical wear advisories suggests that components are reaching the end of their service life cycle simultaneously. The mileage profile is notably low for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,553 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between April 2021 at 103,182 miles and April 2024 at 105,250 miles, representing only 2,068 miles over three years. Such low usage often correlates with the deterioration of rubber-based components, which is consistent with the recorded suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkage issues noted in the earlier-decade tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the underbody to assess the extent of the general rust and corroded components that have been noted since 2019. Particular attention should be paid to the rear suspension and shock assemblies, as the history indicates a recurring pattern of corrosion in these areas. Given the reported pitting on the brake discs in 2025, the physical condition of the braking surfaces should be verified to ensure they have not become beyond economical repair due to periods of inactivity or environmental exposure.
