2002 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · HY02 AHF

The 2002 Honda CR-V shows a stable roadworthiness trend with its most recent test on 5 May 2022 at 152,297 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five available MOT entries from February 2019 to May 2022, the vehicle cleared every test except a single failure on 7 January 2021 at 149,443 miles that the DVLA log lists with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance record is clean and free of escalating advisories. The odometer climbed from 143,640 miles in the 4 February 2019 test to 152,297 miles by May 2022, an accumulation of roughly 8,657 miles over three years and three months. That equates to about 2,600 miles per year, well below the 6,346 miles per year average implied by the vehicle's age. The sparse history shows no rapid wear cycles, though the 23-month gap between the January 2021 and May 2022 tests leaves a period with no verified inspection. Low annual use of this kind often masks standing corrosion and perished rubber components. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe for structural rust given the vehicle's 24-year age and extended idle periods. The brake discs and calipers warrant physical measurement despite no binding or imbalance being flagged in the records. Exhaust emissions and underbody integrity should be checked for moisture-related degradation from low-mileage storage. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic statutory testing current, yet the absence of any advisories across this period is unusual for a two-decade-old 4x4 and may reflect lenient testing rather than flawless condition. Verify service history independently before purchase.
