2012 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · LS62 RTV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of minor degradation regarding the exhaust system. While the car achieved clean passes in 2023 and 2024, the most recent test in August 2025 at 113,666 miles identified a minor exhaust gas leak. This indicates that the previously noted weak exhaust flange from 2022 has progressed to a point requiring attention. The recorded mileage of 113,666 miles over 13 to 14 years averages to approximately 8,119 miles per year. This is consistent with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 4,800 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and approximately 7,300 miles in the preceding year, suggesting the car has been used regularly rather than through long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should focus specifically on the exhaust system to determine if the current leak is limited to the manifold or requires a more extensive artworkwork replacement. Given the history of power steering reservoir seepage first flagged in 2022, a physical inspection of the engine bay is necessary to ensure no new leaks have developed since the last test. Additionally, although the 2022 failure points regarding lighting and wipers were rectified, these electrical components and wiper blades should be checked to ensure they remain functional.
