2008 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · LG08 BNB

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, following a clean pass in its most recent inspection on October 2025 at 150,087 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable and improving, as the car has cleared all defects in its two latest tests. While the history shows two instances of failure, the immediate rectification followed by clean passes suggests that the previous owner was proactive in addressing mechanical faults to ensure the vehicle remained road legal. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eighteen-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per annum. Between the October 2023 and October 2024 tests, the vehicle covered 9,594 miles, followed by 5,877 miles in the final year leading up to the latest test. This fluctuation suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally benefits the condition of rubber seals and braking components. The consistency of the annual testing indicates a disciplined approach to statutory compliance. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the specific areas that led to the failures in 2023 and 2024, although the specific defect codes are not listed in this summary. Given the age of the CR-V, a thorough check of the chassis is required to look for structural corrosion, particularly on the rear subframe common to this model. Inspect the suspension bushes for wear and check the coil springs for fractures, as the high mileage often accelerates the degradation of these components. The lack of recorded advisories in the most recent test is a positive indicator, but it does not replace the need for a physical check of brake pipe corrosion and fluid leaks.
