2004 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · LS04 VGN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in December 2025 at 137,581 miles showed a pass only after addressing failures related to lighting and brake-related advisories. While the vehicle passed, the presence of advisories for thin rear brake linings and pitted discs on both sides suggests that the braking system is reaching the end of its effective life and requires immediate attention to prevent a future test failure. At approximately 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 137,581 miles represents an average usage of roughly 6,254 miles per year. This low annual mileage is consistent with light use, which typically limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine. The data shows a steady progression, with approximately 1,200 miles covered between the November 2023 and December 2024 tests. However, low mileage does not negate the effects of age, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of corrosion on the chassis. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear braking assembly, as the record consistently flags worn linings and surface pitting on the discs. The recurring surface corrosion noted across the entire underbody in 2024 requires a close look at the structural integrity of the frame to ensure the rust has not compromised the strength of the sills or suspension mounting points. Additionally, the persistent oil leak noted in late 2024 should be monitored to ensure it remains a minor seepage rather than a developing seal failure that could lead to engine distress over time.
