2014 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · LS14 AEF

The vehicle failed its most recent MOT on 7 July 2026, the tester flagging a slightly damaged nearside obligatory mirror, insufficient washer fluid, slight play in the nearside front anti‑roll bar ball joint and thin front and rear brake pads. The appearance of brake wear and suspension‑joint play in the latest test, absent from earlier passes, indicates a deteriorating trend after a period of clean results. Mileage has risen from 10,925 mi in February 2017 to 68,775 mi at the November 2025 test, averaging roughly 11–12 k mi per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. No abrupt spikes or unexplained gaps appear in the record; the mileage progression aligns with the scheduled annual tests, suggesting consistent use without excessive wear. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the nearside mirror and ensure the washer system is refilled and free of leaks. Inspect both front and rear brake pads for remaining thickness and confirm that the anti‑roll bar ball joint shows no excess movement. Examine the tyres identified as slightly damaged or close to the legal limit – particularly the nearside front and offside rear – and look for any cracking or perishing of the tread. Remove any child seats to allow a full check of the adult seatbelts, and scan the suspension bushes for corrosion or looseness that could indicate emerging structural issues.
