2007 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · HD56 AEY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection in February 2023 at 115,921 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car was in a good mechanical state at that time. While a failure occurred in early February 2022, the immediate retest pass on the same day suggests the issue was minor and rectified quickly rather than representing a chronic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nineteen-year-old Honda, averaging out approximately 6,100 miles per annum. Between February 2020 and February 2021, the vehicle covered 10,799 miles, followed by 10,800 miles in the subsequent year. The most recent gap shows an increase of 14,965 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests. This steady usage suggests a predictable wear and tear pattern which is often preferable for rubber components and braking systems compared to vehicles that sit for long periods. Given the clean nature of the MOT records, a buyer should focus on age-related structural integrity rather than recurring mechanical faults. At over 115,000 miles, the priority is checking for corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, which are common on this generation CR-V. The buyer should also verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade over time regardless of low annual mileage. Since the last recorded MOT was over three years ago, a thorough physical inspection is essential to identify any new degradation or fluid leaks that have emerged since the 2023 test.
