2011 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · LC11 WLN

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 21 June 2024 with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking back at the history from 2022 and 2023, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, as the car has consistently passed without a single recorded fault. This indicates a vehicle that has likely been subject to a disciplined maintenance regime, ensuring that wear items are replaced before they reach a failure threshold. With a recorded mileage of 110,776 miles over approximately fifteen years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,385 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a vehicle of this vintage, suggesting a balanced life of mixed driving cycles. While the mileage is not excessively high, it is sufficient to mean that primary drivetrain components and suspension assemblies have undergone significant operational stress, necessitating a close inspection of rubber components and mounting points. Given the absence of MOT advisories, the buyer should focus on age-related degradation that may not trigger a failure but affects long-term reliability. It is essential to inspect the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as rubber compounds degrade over time regardless of tread depth. The brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion or signs of binding calipers, which can occur if the vehicle has experienced periods of inactivity. A thorough check of the 12V battery health is also advised to ensure reliable starting. During the test drive, listen for any suspension clunks or knocks, which could indicate the onset of wear in the suspension bushes or coil springs. Because fluids degrade based on a calendar schedule as well as mileage, the buyer must verify the service book for evidence of regular oil and coolant changes. Particular attention should be paid to the brake fluid and transmission oil, as these are often overlooked but critical for the longevity of a high-mileage Honda drivetrain.
