Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
A thorough mechanical inspection is essential for this vehicle. The 2025 MOT failure history indicates several areas that may have been addressed, but you must verify that the CV boot, track rod ends, and suspension ball joint covers have been replaced with high-quality parts rather than simply patched.
Negotiate based on the recent history of multiple failures. Ask for evidence of the work carried out between the April 16th failure and the April 26th pass. Specifically, request receipts for the new tyres, the replacement of the offside front inner drive shaft CV boot, and the various suspension arm ball joint repairs. Check the service history to see if the 2.2L diesel engine has received regular oil changes, as this is critical for long-term reliability in this model.
As a 2.2L diesel, this CR-V will offer better fuel economy on long motorway journeys compared to petrol variants, but expect higher tax and insurance costs. The insurance group for a 2007 diesel SUV of this size is typically moderate to high depending on the driver profile.
Maintenance costs for this model can fluctuate. While Honda parts are reliable, the recent MOT history shows a pattern of wear in suspension and braking components (such as the binding offside front brake and worn pads). You should budget for regular maintenance of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and timing belt/chain inspections, which are common considerations for high-mileage diesel engines.
Focus heavily on the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of deteriorating dust covers on ball joints and track rod ends, as well as a split CV boot. Inspect all rubber boots and gaiters for signs of cracking or grease leakage to ensure the 2025 repairs were comprehensive.
Additionally, check the braking system. The April 2025 record noted a binding offside front brake and wearing pads. Test the brake pedal feel and listen for any grinding or squealing. Given the 2023 advisory regarding a worn front brake drum and steering rack play, ensure the steering feels precise and free from excessive vibration or knocking sounds when turning the wheel.
This 2007 blue Honda CR-V with the 2.2L diesel engine has covered 163,397 miles as of its last MOT in April 2025. The vehicle's recent history shows a significant cluster of failures in April 2025, including issues with tyres, lighting, and multiple suspension and CV boot components. While it has had clean MOTs in 2021 and 2022, the recent decline in recorded condition suggests a period of deferred maintenance.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 82.5% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, ball joints, and corrosion.
