2012 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · LD12 LDY

This Honda CR-V has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across the last four consecutive tests, most recently passing on 23 May 2025 at 117,519 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has undergone consistent, if not exemplary, servicing, though the lack of recorded defects does not preclude underlying issues not captured by the MOT. The most recent test, just over a year ago, aligns with the standard three-year MOT cycle, meaning the vehicle has not yet reached its next mandatory inspection. This timing is standard, but buyers should verify whether the current owner has adhered to manufacturer-recommended servicing intervals beyond MOT requirements, particularly for components like timing belt systems or differential fluid changes. The mileage progression indicates a steady usage pattern, averaging around 8,400 miles annually—a rate typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged gaps in mileage between tests, which would otherwise raise concerns about neglect or extended periods of disuse. For example, the 117,519-mile mark in May 2025 follows a consistent increase from 108,327 miles in May 2024, with no evidence of rapid depreciation in structural or mechanical integrity. That said, the absence of detailed service records means potential wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers could have gone unaddressed between MOTs. Given the lack of failings in the MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear subframe and bushings, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The front and rear brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is also worth examining, as it can compromise structural integrity without immediately failing an MOT. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as these issues often develop gradually and may not be detected until they become severe. While the MOT record suggests no immediate cause for alarm, these areas are critical for long-term reliability.
