Our Verdict
A highly attractive option for those see
The primary focus for a buyer should be the tyre condition. The 2025 and 2026 MOT tests both flagged issues with tyres cracking or perishing; given the low mileage, this often indicates the rubber is ageing due to time rather than wear. Check the manufacture date on the sidewalls of all four tyres to see if they are due for immediate replacement.
Beyond the tyres, inspect the vehicle for the common model issues noted in aggregate data, such as ball joint wear and corrosion. Because this vehicle has been driven so little, ensure that any rubber components, such as bushings and belts, have not perished from lack of use. Ask for any evidence of service history to complement the MOT data, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from infrequent oil changes.
As a 2.0L petrol model, expect moderate fuel economy typical of a mid-sized SUV from the early 2000s. Insurance groups for this era of CR-V vary, but it generally sits in a mid-range bracket.
Maintenance costs should be predictable, though you should budget for the replacement of ageing tyres and potential suspension components like ball joints, which are common failure points for this model. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, are approximately £1,300-£1,600 depending on annual mileage.
Specifically address the MOT advisories regarding the offside front and rear tyres, as well as the rear tyres noted in 2025. Check for signs of cracking or perishing in the sidewalls, which can affect safety even if tread depth appears sufficient.
Given the aggregate data for this model, perform a thorough check of the suspension system, specifically looking for play in the ball joints. Additionally, inspect the underbody for any signs of corrosion, as this is a frequent reason for MOT failures across the wider CR-V fleet.
This 2003 Honda CR-V presents with remarkably low mileage of just 28,819 miles, significantly below the typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows a consistent pass record since 2022, with the most recent tests highlighting minor tyre degradation rather than mechanical failures. While the mileage is a major asset, the recent advisories suggest certain consumables may require attention.
The Honda CR-V shows an 82.5% average MOT pass rate across the data set, with common issues being headlamps, ball joints, and corrosion.
