Our Verdict
A reasonable example of a reliable model
Prioritise checking whether the offside front shock absorber has been replaced, as this has been flagged as misting oil in the last three consecutive MOT tests. You should also verify the current state of the rear brake pads, which were noted as wearing thin in March 2026, and use this as a point for price negotiation.
Review the service history to confirm how the 2023 brake disc failure was rectified. Ensure all maintenance is documented, as the recurring nature of the suspension advisory suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to certain repairs.
The 1997cc petrol engine provides a reliable powertrain, though fuel economy will be typical for a 2012-era petrol SUV. Insurance and road tax will be commensurate with a 2.0L engine of this vintage.
Typical maintenance for the CR-V is generally moderate, but the recorded history indicates upcoming costs for brake pads and potentially a front shock absorber replacement. Annual running costs will be driven primarily by fuel consumption and these pending wear-and-tear items.
Perform a detailed inspection of the offside front shock absorber for oil leaks, as this has been a persistent advisory since March 2024. Check the thickness of the rear brake pads and the condition of the front registration plate, which was noted as deteriorated in the latest test.
While not specifically flagged on this vehicle, be mindful of the engine management light and brake pipes, as these are among the top failure reasons for the CR-V model across aggregate data. A visual check of the brake pipe condition is recommended given the model's known weak points.
This blue 2012 Honda CR-V has recorded 92,559 miles, which is slightly below the expected average for its age. The MOT history shows a failure in January 2023 due to seriously weakened front brake discs and a recurring advisory for an oil-misting offside front shock absorber appearing in 2024, 2025, and 2026. The most recent test also notes that the rear brake pads are wearing thin.
The CR-V maintains a respectable average MOT pass rate of 82.4% based on the analysis of 229,499 vehicles.
