2022 Honda CR-V 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · LR22 WSF

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 31 March 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from April 2025, indicating a highly stable maintenance trend. The absence of any recorded failures or advisory notes over the last two testing cycles suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that comfortably exceeds the minimum legal roadworthiness requirements. With a recorded mileage of 13,391 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 3,348 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the national average for a vehicle of this age and class. While low mileage generally implies minimal mechanical wear on the engine, drivetrain, and suspension bushes, it also indicates that the car may have spent extended periods stationary, which introduces specific risks associated with vehicle dormancy. Given the low annual usage and the clean MOT history, the primary focus for a physical inspection should be on components affected by age and inactivity rather than wear. It is essential to examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of remaining tread depth. Additionally, the brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting, and the pedal feel during a test drive should be monitored for any shudder or binding, which can occur when calipers seize slightly from prolonged standing. Prospective buyers should also verify the service history to ensure that maintenance has been carried out based on time intervals rather than mileage alone. Engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant degrade chemically over time, and the absence of regular changes can lead to internal sludge or corrosion. Finally, the health of the 12V battery should be checked, as infrequent use or long periods of dormancy often lead to premature battery failure. Ensure the service book confirms that the manufacturer's calendar-based service schedule has been strictly adhered to.
