2009 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · LS09 OZP

The vehicle displays a stable and commendable maintenance trend, as evidenced by four consecutive clean passes in the most recent MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 23 May 2025 at 201,837 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle has been well-maintained and free of major mechanical or structural issues in the immediate past. The single failure recorded on 20 May 2022 was rectified immediately, as the vehicle passed on the same day, suggesting that the issue was likely a minor administrative or easily corrected consumable fault rather than a systemic failure. With a total of 201,837 miles accumulated over 17 years, the vehicle averages approximately 11,873 miles per annum. This consistent usage pattern suggests the Honda has been used regularly rather than left to sit, which often helps prevent the premature degradation of seals, hoses, and fuel systems associated with long-term storage. The lack of advisories over the past four years is noteworthy for a vehicle of this age and mileage, implying that the previous owner likely adhered to a proactive service schedule to keep the mechanical components in good order. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on components that typically wear at this mileage. You should prioritise checking the condition of the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs, as these are common wear items on the CR-V chassis that may not always be captured during a standard MOT test. Inspect the underside for any signs of surface corrosion on the subframes and brake lines, as structural integrity becomes a higher priority as the vehicle ages. Verify the operation of the four-wheel-drive system and listen for any differential whine during a test drive, as these mechanical elements remain critical for the long-term reliability of this model.
