2022 Honda CR-V 2.0L Hybrid electric · LL22 OBU

The most recent DVSA MOT test for this 2022 Honda CR-V was conducted on 6 July 2026 and resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. The previous test on 7 July 2025 also resulted in a clean pass under identical circumstances, with no advisories, minor issues, or failure items logged across either examination. With two consecutive test entries showing zero recorded defects, the official maintenance trend reads as stable and well-managed, indicating that the vehicle has remained in sound roadworthy condition throughout the most recent testing cycle. The absence of advisories is particularly reassuring on a relatively modern SUV, as it suggests that components such as the braking system, suspension, tyres, exhaust, and structural underbody are all presently within serviceable limits according to the testing inspector. With 28,935 miles recorded over approximately four years, this CR-V is covering around 7,234 miles annually, which sits comfortably within the typical range for a privately used family vehicle of this type. There are no unusual gaps or sudden spikes in mileage to suggest prolonged periods of standing followed by heavy use, nor does the odometer reading point to excessive motorway or high-load driving. This average rate of accumulation is generally kind to mechanical components, allowing ample time for the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and ancillary systems to operate within their design tolerances. It also implies that consumable wear items such as brake pads, discs, and tyres are likely to have substantial remaining life, though a physical inspection of pad material thickness and tyre tread depth is always advisable irrespective of what the MOT history suggests. Given the clean MOT record and the absence of any recorded advisories, buyer due diligence should now focus on age- and time-related deterioration that an annual roadworthiness examination does not fully cover. Tyres should be inspected closely for sidewall perishing and cracking, as rubber compounds degrade with calendar age even when tread depth remains adequate, and a four-year-old vehicle may be approaching the point where replacement becomes prudent regardless of wear. The 12-volt battery is another item that warrants attention, since battery life is typically limited to four to six years, and a load test or voltage check can confirm whether it remains reliable. Brake discs should be examined for any surface corrosion or lipping that might have developed from standing or infrequent use, and the caliper slides should be checked for any tendency to bind, as a vehicle used at moderate annual mileage may spend extended periods stationary between journeys. Fluid condition and servicing history also merit close scrutiny on a CR-V of this age and mileage. Engine oil and oil filter changes should be verified against the manufacturer service schedule, with particular attention to whether the vehicle has followed the recommended interval-based or time-based servicing regime, whichever is reached first. Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should be renewed roughly every two to three years regardless of mileage, while coolant and, if applicable, transmission fluid should be confirmed as within their recommended replacement windows. On the test drive, listen for any suspension knocking or clonking over uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn bushes or top mount deterioration, and pay attention to brake pedal feel for any sponginess or pulling that might suggest corroded slide pins or air in the hydraulic system. A thorough underbody inspection is also worthwhile to confirm the absence of fluid leaks from the engine, transmission, or differential, all of which would be consistent with a well-maintained example of this vehicle.
