LL13 XGG MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2013 Honda Cr-V (LL13 XGG) between June 2024 and June 2026.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 18 June 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (8 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Windscreen (1 issue), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 6 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Headlamp aim unable to be tested (4.1.2 (b))”; “Offside Front Headlamp not working on main beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Headlamp not working on dipped beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))”.

Our Verdict
Approach with caution — this 2013 Honda
The MOT history reveals a pattern of lighting-related defects that has appeared twice in the past year, with a complete failure of the offside headlamp on both main and dipped beam in June 2026. Before purchase, ensure the headlamp assembly and associated wiring have been properly repaired or replaced — not just the bulbs — and test both beams thoroughly at the time of viewing. The 2025 MOT failure also flagged a fractured rear coil spring and a seat belt with significant webbing damage greater than 2mm from the edge, which is a safety-critical item; confirm a genuine replacement seat belt has been fitted rather than a repair, and inspect all suspension components for wear given the higher-than-average mileage.
Negotiation should account for the cost of addressing any remaining advisory items from the most recent test, including the slight headlamp lens defect still noted at the June 2026 pass. Ask to see receipts for the work carried out between the failures and the subsequent passes — particularly for the headlamp unit, coil spring, and seat belt replacement — as this will confirm whether proper parts were used. Given three MOT visits in 14 months, consider budgeting for further wear-related maintenance in the near future, especially on suspension bushes, brake components, and tyres.
With 100,085 miles on a 13-year-old petrol CR-V, the engine and transmission should be inspected for oil leaks (one was previously noted), coolant condition, and any signs of timing chain noise on cold start. A compression test or at minimum a thorough inspection by a Honda specialist would be money well spent before committing.
The 2.0-litre petrol Honda CR-V typically returns around 33-38 mpg in real-world driving, with combined figures closer to 36 mpg, giving an annual fuel cost of roughly £1,400-£1,700 at current prices for 10,000 miles. Road tax for a 2013 petrol CR-V of this engine size sits in a higher band than the diesel equivalent, likely around £290-£320 per year, which is a notable consideration for a vehicle of this age.
Insurance for the CR-V typically falls into group 22-26 depending on trim, suggesting annual premiums in the £450-£700 range for a typical driver. Maintenance costs are reasonable for a Honda, with parts widely available, though the recent MOT failures around suspension and lighting suggest budgeting £400-£600 annually for routine wear-and-tear items, with potential additional costs if further suspension work is required. Overall estimated annual running cost: £2,200-£2,800.
Begin with a focused inspection of the front headlamp assemblies — the June 2026 failure involved the offside unit not working on both dipped and main beam, and a similar lens defect was noted on the nearside. Check for condensation inside the headlamp units, water ingress around the connectors, and confirm both beams operate correctly. Examine all lighting including the registration plate lamp, which was inoperative at the recent failure, and verify the wiring loom near the front offside area for any corrosion or rodent damage.
The 2025 MOT flagged a fractured offside rear coil spring — this is a common failure point on higher-mileage CR-Vs and is consistent with the model's aggregate MOT data listing coil spring issues as a known weakness. Inspect all four springs for sagging or signs of uneven ride height, and check suspension bushes, drop links, and shock absorbers for wear. The seat belt webbing issue from 2025 should be verified by inspecting the belt material for any signs of fraying, cuts, or damage greater than 2mm from the edge — if a replacement was fitted, check the fitment quality and matching part number.
General inspection should cover the underside for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the subframe — Honda CR-Vs of this generation can develop rust in these areas. Tyres should be checked for uneven wear, which can indicate alignment or suspension problems, and the engine bay examined for any leaks given the oil leak advisory noted in 2024. Finally, confirm all previous MOT advisories have been properly addressed and request documentation for any remedial work carried out.
This June 2013 Honda CR-V is a 2.0-litre petrol model in white, with a recorded mileage of 100,085 miles across its MOT history. The vehicle has had three MOT tests in the last 14 months, two of which resulted in failures — one for tyres and a fractured coil spring, and another for serious headlamp defects. Mileage of approximately 12,500 miles per year sits above the Honda CR-V aggregate average of 7,044 miles annually, indicating heavier-than-average use.
The Honda CR-V has a strong overall MOT pass rate of 82.5% across nearly 230,000 analysed vehicles, placing it among the more reliable mid-size SUVs. However, the aggregate data highlights headlamp issues, ball joint wear, and corrosion as the most common failure reasons — the latter two being typical concerns for higher-mileage examples of this generation.
