Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
Verify that the failures identified in the March 2026 MOT—specifically the front brake discs, pads, nearside front tyre, and suspension arm ball joint dust cover—have been fully rectified with invoices to prove the work. As this is a diesel model, ensure the service history documents regular oil changes to maintain engine longevity.
Given the age of the vehicle, check for any signs of corrosion on the underbody, as this is a known failure point for the model range. Use the recent need for brake and tyre replacements as a point of negotiation if the current owner has only performed the minimum work required to pass the MOT.
The 1.6L diesel engine provides a balance of efficiency and power suitable for a family SUV, though fuel costs will fluctuate with current diesel prices. Insurance groups for the CR-V are typically moderate, making it a relatively affordable option to insure for most drivers.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, although the recent MOT history suggests that suspension components and braking systems will require attention every few years. Estimated annual running costs include fuel, road tax, insurance, and a provision for routine servicing.
Focus your inspection on the front suspension and steering. The MOT history shows a pattern of deterioration with track rod end and suspension arm ball joint dust covers appearing as advisories in 2025 and failures in 2026; ensure these have been replaced rather than just patched.
Check the front brake discs for any remaining pitting or scoring and verify the thickness of the pads. Finally, inspect all four tyres for consistent tread depth, specifically the nearside front which was flagged as being close to the legal limit in March 2026.
This black 2015 Honda CR-V has covered 69,661 miles, which is below the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history indicates a generally steady record, though the March 2026 test resulted in a failure due to worn brakes, a tyre near the legal limit, and deteriorated suspension ball joint dust covers. Aside from these recent wear items, the vehicle has passed its previous three annual tests.
The CR-V maintains a strong reputation with an average MOT pass rate of 82.5%, although ball joint issues are a frequently recorded failure point across the model range.
