2011 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · LM60 ABZ

The current roadworthiness of this vehicle is questionable following a failure at the most recent test on 12 September 2025 at 103,101 miles. While the vehicle maintained a clean record for several years, the sudden failure without recorded prior defects suggests a mechanical or emissions-related issue that emerged between service intervals. The maintenance trend is currently unstable, as the vehicle moved from three consecutive clean passes between 2022 and 2024 to a failure in its latest inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle for its age, averaging approximately 6,873 miles per year. Between the May 2022 test at 95,111 miles and the June 2024 test at 100,752 miles, the car covered roughly 2,800 miles annually. This low accumulation indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it also increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading or suspension bushings seizing from age rather than distance. The gaps between tests are regular, suggesting the owner followed the standard annual testing schedule until the recent failure. A buyer must investigate the specific cause of the September 2025 failure, as the lack of recorded defects on the report often points to a failure to meet the exhaust emissions threshold or a specific component failure that was not immediately visible. Given the age of the CR-V, a physical inspection is required to check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and subframe, which are common points of weakness for this model. Focus should look for signs of binding calipers or perished control arm bushes, as low-mileage use can lead to uneven brake wear and handling noises that an MOT might not catch until they reach a critical state.
