2014 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · JM11 BUT

The 2014 Honda CR-V presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend across its recorded history. The most recent DVSA test on 5 November 2025 at 25,090 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior examinations in November 2024 at 24,277 miles, November 2023 at 23,280 miles, October 2022 at 22,058 miles, and November 2021 at 20,899 miles each achieved passes without advisories. This uninterrupted sequence signals consistent statutory compliance and no escalating mechanical concerns. Odometer readings confirm exceptionally low utilisation for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,091 miles per year. The progression from 20,899 miles in November 2021 to 25,090 miles in November 2025 reflects an incremental annual climb of around 1,000 miles, with no abrupt gaps or rapid accumulation. Such restrained mileage suggests gentle touring or prolonged stationary periods rather than fleet or commercial strain. The absence of any failure or advisory across these dates implies the previous keeper maintained basic statutory testing discipline, though low use can mask intermittent faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of components prone to degradation under limited movement. The MOT record flags no corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or binding calipers, yet standing vehicles often develop surface rust on structural members and perished rubber mounts unseen during a road test. The tester recorded no exhaust emissions irregularities, but we recommend verifying the condition of brake calipers for potential seizing after long idle spells and checking tyre sidewalls for cracking from age rather than wear. The clean sheet across five consecutive tests indicates an owner who prioritised legal roadworthiness over deferred maintenance, though the lack of advisories denies insight into consumable remaining life. Prospective purchasers should budget for age-related replacements such as wiper blades, brake fluid renewal, and possible damp-related issues despite the reassuring document trail.
