2015 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · LC65 DZX

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 27 November 2025, although this followed a failure for a registration plate lamp and headlamp aim. Reviewing the history, the maintenance trend is generally stable, but it reveals a pattern of reactive repairs where defects are identified during the annual test rather than addressed beforehand. While the failures have been largely minor or related to consumables, the recurring need for corrective work suggests the owner may not have followed a rigorous preventative maintenance schedule. The recorded mileage of 85,646 miles is consistent with the vehicle age, averaging roughly 7,786 miles per year. This level of usage is typical for this model and indicates a balanced duty cycle, avoiding the risks associated with both excessive long-distance wear and the degradation caused by prolonged standing. However, at this mileage and age, the vehicle is reaching a threshold where rubber components, such as suspension bushes and engine mounts, may begin to perish or lose their elasticity. Particular attention must be paid to the braking system. The most recent advisory notes that the rear brake discs are worn, and previous records indicate that the front brake pads were wearing thin. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for grinding noises or feel for any shuddering through the brake pedal, which could indicate warped discs or uneven pad wear. It is highly likely that a full brake service, including the replacement of rear discs and pads, will be required in the near future to ensure optimal stopping performance. The suspension history is also a point of concern, specifically the major failure in November 2024 regarding a serious fluid leak from the nearside rear shock absorber. The buyer should verify that this component was replaced and check the offside shock for similar signs of leakage or dampness. During the test drive, listen for suspension clunks over uneven surfaces and observe the vehicle for excessive bouncing after a bump. Additionally, the buyer should inspect the windscreen for the previously recorded chip to ensure it has not spread into a larger crack, and verify that all exterior lighting is fully operational.
