2013 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · LS13 PDY

A pattern of increasing consumables-related advisories has emerged in the most recent testing cycles, moving from a clean record in 2023 to several specific mechanical warnings in 2024 and 2025. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection on 04 July 2025, the presence of multiple tyre-related advisories, including nails in both the nearside front and offside rear, alongside previous warnings regarding brake pad thickness and disc pitting, indicates a shift toward more frequent maintenance requirements. The trend suggests that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, the focus of inspection is increasingly shifting toward wear-and-tear components such as tyres and braking systems. The recorded mileage of 58,165 miles over a thirteen-year period represents a low annual average of approximately 4,474 miles. This usage profile is significantly below the UK average, which can imply less frequent mechanical operation. While lower mileage generally suggests less cumulative wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can also mean that components such as tyres and braking systems are subject to different degradation patterns, such as the uneven wear on tyre edges noted in the 2024 and 2025 records. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the condition of the braking system and the suspension. The 2024 advisory regarding thin brake pads on both axles and a pitted offside rear brake disc warrants a physical inspection of the remaining pad material and the surface integrity of the discs. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises during deceleration or feel for any pedal judder or pulsations, which could indicate uneven disc wear or binding calipers. Furthermore, the 2024 advisory concerning slight play in the offside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint should be investigated; look for any knocking or clunking sounds when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, as this indicates developing suspension wear. Tyre condition is another critical area for immediate attention following the 2025 test. With multiple nails recorded and an offside front tyre previously flagged for being worn close to the legal limit and unevenly on the inner edge, a thorough inspection of all four tyres is necessary. Check for any bulging in the sidewalls or uneven tread wear patterns, which could point to underlying alignment issues. Given the low annual mileage, ensure that the rubber has not become excessively hardened or perished, which can occur when vehicles are used less frequently.
