2003 Mitsubishi L200 Double CAB 2.5L Diesel · HYY 50N

The 2006 Honda CR-V has maintained a clean MOT history with no recorded defects in the most recent tests, though the May 2025 failure—despite zero faults—indicates an administrative or scheduling anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 20 May 2025, just two months ago, meaning it remains legally roadworthy under current regulations. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or worsening conditions in the test record, though the abrupt retest suggests the owner may have prioritised compliance over proactive servicing. Without advisories or advisory notes in any test, there is no indication of unresolved structural or safety-critical concerns. The mileage progression of approximately 6,825 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests—covering 6,806 miles in just 14 months—implies either consistent driving or a period of neglect before the 2023 MOT. The final 1,546 miles between the 2025 failure and pass suggest minimal recent use, which could either mean the vehicle has been stored or driven sparingly. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern, but the lack of service records means critical intervals for suspension bushes, timing belt (if applicable), and differential fluid may have been overlooked. Given the absence of MOT defects, the most prudent inspections for a prospective buyer should focus on suspension integrity , particularly the rear subframe and bushings, which are common failure points in this model by 20 years. The brakes, though never flagged, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Corrosion around the wheel arches, sills, and underbody should be examined closely, as this CR-V model is prone to structural rust in high-exposure areas. Finally, the exhaust system—particularly the catalytic converter and downstream pipes—should be inspected for leaks or excessive corrosion, as these are often overlooked until they fail. The lack of advisories does not guarantee these components are intact, so a thorough visual and functional assessment is essential.
