2005 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · LR05 PJV

The 2005 Honda CR-V presents as roadworthy following a pass on 14 January 2026 at 120,801 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the three most recent annual cycles. The vehicle cleared its latest test one day after a failed attempt on 13 January 2026 at identical mileage, though the DVSA entry logs no defects for either the failure or the pass. This pattern repeats the prior year: a fail on 10 January 2025 at 113,958 miles with no recorded defects, followed by a pass on 15 January 2025 at the same mileage. The owner appears to have used the retest window to resolve an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,752 miles per year against the recorded 120,801 miles. The records show 7,618 miles added between the January 2024 pass at 106,340 miles and the January 2025 test, then 6,843 miles to the January 2026 pass. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear in the supplied data. The clean advisory columns across all five entries suggest either light use or conscientious pre-test preparation, though the consecutive fail-then-pass pairs at matching mileages warrant a check of the test centre notes. A buyer should physically verify the absence of underlying corrosion on structural members, suspension bushes, and subframes, since the MOT record flags no advisories despite the vehicle's age. The brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions should be inspected for hidden wear the annual tests did not capture. The twin fail-pass sequences in January 2025 and January 2026 with zero defects indicate the previous keeper addressed whatever halted the first attempt quickly; confirm with the DVLA refusal notice what triggered those initial failures. Given the low mileage and clean history, the CR-V shows no worsening mechanical trend. Inspect tyres, wiper blades, and underbody for age-related deterioration before purchase, but the official record supports a sound roadworthiness verdict as of the January 2026 test.
