2005 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · LB54 ANF

The 2005 Honda CR-V presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 26 January 2026 at 142,520 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The January 2026 test cycle shows a fail on 23 January 2026 at the same mileage with no defects recorded, followed by a clean pass three days later, indicating an administrative or unlogged rectification rather than a mechanical deterioration. No advisories or defects appear on any test from 2023 through 2026. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 21-year-old vehicle. The records show 137,479 miles in January 2023, 139,200 in January 2024, 140,774 in January 2025, and 142,520 by January 2026. That equates to roughly 1,700 miles per year over the last three years, well below the lifetime average of 6,787, suggesting the car has entered light-use retirement. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions concerns logged at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and the absence of any advisory tracking in the record. The lack of flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc wear across five tests does not guarantee freedom from age-related degradation that a visual test may miss. The January 2026 fail with no recorded defect warrants confirmation that the issuing station corrected a genuine roadworthiness item rather than a documentation error. Given the low recent annual mileage, check for perished rubber components, seized calipers from standing, and tyre sidewall cracking before purchase. The clean MOT lineage implies prior owners kept basic statutory compliance, but the sparse entries leave mechanical condition between tests unverified by the official record.
